While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Wendy maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering a competitive marketplace. She actively collaborates with vendors possessing relevant technical certifications and manufacturing capabilities, particularly those experienced in precision instrumentation and laboratory system integration.
