Amanda Fuentes

Amanda Fuentes serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to streamline institutional operations through expert acquisition management. She plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements for administrative, technical, and operational services that underpin DoD enterprise functions, including facility modernization, digital transformation initiatives, and mission-critical consulting. Her portfolio encompasses a broad range of non-defense-specific services requiring high-level coordination across federal stakeholders, with a focus on performance-based contracts, task orders under GWACs, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms that ensure agility and scalability in support of WHS’s strategic objectives. Fuentes maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of contractors including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering integrated solutions for federal infrastructure, IT modernization, and management consulting. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance evaluation, and compliance with FAR requirements, fostering stable, long-term contract relationships that prioritize continuity and mission readiness. While set-aside data is not currently available, Fuentes operates within a procurement environment that aligns with DoD-wide goals for socioeconomic inclusion. She routinely evaluates small business capabilities and actively considers 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB participation in competitive solicitations, demonstrating a commitment to equitable access without compromising quality or mission performance. Her primary procurement focus centers on professional services, facility management, IT modernization, and administrative support, corresponding to NAICS categories such as 541611 (Administrative Management), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting), and 236220 (Commercial Building Construction). Her technical expertise lies in managing service-based contracts requiring high levels of coordination, compliance, and performance measurement across diverse DoD components.
