Tysha Resnick

Tysha Resnick serves as Fiscal Manager for the Orlando Fire Department, where she oversees the financial planning, budget execution, and contract administration for mission-critical emergency response systems. In this primary procurement role, she ensures fiscal compliance while aligning acquisitions with the department’s strategic priorities in fire suppression, hazardous materials response, and advanced emergency medical services. Resnick manages a diverse portfolio of capital equipment and maintenance contracts, focusing on procurement cycles that support operational readiness, personnel safety, and technological modernization across fire stations and response units. Resnick maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in industrial equipment, medical supplies, and technical maintenance services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-reliability, compliance-driven solutions tailored to public safety standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, lifecycle cost analysis, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate technical expertise and rapid response capabilities in time-sensitive environments. Resnick’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing technical capability and operational suitability over certification-based targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her award structure, she remains committed to fair and transparent competition that ensures the highest quality equipment and services for first responders. Her primary procurement focus centers on four NAICS categories: manufacturing of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems for fire station infrastructure, switchgear and switchboard apparatus for electrical safety systems, surgical appliance and supply manufacturing for EMS medical kits, and commercial machinery repair and maintenance for fleet and equipment upkeep. These domains reflect deep technical expertise in procuring mission-critical hardware and services that directly support life-saving operations and regulatory compliance in high-stakes emergency environments.
