She manages the full lifecycle of service-based acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with DFAS’s strategic priorities in audit readiness, automated reporting, and secure financial infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a focus on management consulting and facilities support, enabling the agency to sustain efficient, scalable financial operations across the Department of Defense. Vicki maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis. These partnerships reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated expertise in financial systems support, regulatory compliance, and operational infrastructure. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on vendors with deep domain knowledge in federal financial processes, often requiring specialized technical capabilities and proven experience in defense-sector environments.
