A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Shaw consistently prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 60% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages 8(a) competed set-asides and Women-Owned Small Business opportunities, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity and fostering equitable access to federal contracting. Her pattern of set-aside usage reflects a strategic alignment with Department of Defense goals to enhance small business engagement across mission-critical domains. Her procurement focus centers on healthcare-related NAICS codes, particularly 621111 (Offices of Physicians) and 621340 (Therapy and Audiology Services), underscoring her expertise in procuring clinical and rehabilitative services for military medical facilities. She also manages ancillary support contracts in waste management and specialized health practitioner services, reflecting a nuanced understanding of the integrated support ecosystem required to sustain Air Force health and environmental operations.
