In this leadership role, she ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives, managing a diverse portfolio of contracts for critical support services and specialized equipment. Her responsibilities include guiding contracting teams through complex solicitation processes, evaluating source selection criteria, and ensuring compliance with socioeconomic and regulatory requirements. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into actionable acquisition strategies that prioritize efficiency, accountability, and mission readiness. Culp fosters collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, service providers, and manufacturers specializing in analytical instrumentation and security operations.

Her approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based contracting, encouraging innovation and responsiveness from both large and small industry partners. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with equal distribution across Total Small Business Set-Asides, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Asides, and No Set-Aside procurements. This deliberate equilibrium underscores her dedication to equitable access for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining flexibility to meet urgent operational requirements. She actively promotes small business participation through targeted outreach and mentorship initiatives aligned with FAR Part 19.
