She prioritizes competitive bidding processes and encourages vendor collaboration through clear performance metrics and contract compliance oversight. Mason demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 20% of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and notable participation from HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.
