Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, including fire safety upgrades, HVAC integration, and secure communication system deployments. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to ensure resilient, compliant, and technologically advanced defense environments, routinely coordinating with engineers, facility managers, and compliance officers to validate technical requirements and ensure regulatory adherence. Winfree maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in building systems integration, specialized construction, and technical services for federal installations. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, with a strong focus on vendor reliability, past performance, and compliance with federal construction and safety standards. A defining feature of Winfree’s procurement approach is her strong commitment to small business participation, with 72.1% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
