Kennedy’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern indicates a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and operational suitability, rather than socioeconomic categorization. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all federal small business goals and encourages participation through open market opportunities. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting), and 541715 (Research and Development in Life Sciences), underscoring her specialization in procuring strategic advisory services, clinical process optimization, and non-biotech scientific research.
