Amy Wong, Contracting Officer

Amy Wong serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation while advancing agency mission objectives through efficient, transparent, and equitable procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of commercial food supply contracts, with a focus on perishable prepared foods, commercial baking, and grocery wholesale distribution. Amy specializes in structuring solicitations that balance operational needs with socioeconomic goals, ensuring that procurement activities support both mission readiness and national small business policy. While specific contractor names are not available, Amy cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, specialty food manufacturers, and merchant wholesalers with proven capabilities in food safety, cold-chain logistics, and just-in-time delivery. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements and clear evaluation criteria to foster fair competition and vendor accountability. She actively engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and maintains a transparent process to encourage participation from qualified suppliers across the food supply chain. Amy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on empowering small business concerns. Her patterns consistently prioritize small business participation over no-set-aside awards, aligning with broader federal goals to increase economic opportunity for underserved entrepreneurs. She does not rely on other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a broad-based preference for small business eligibility under the general small business size standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311812 (Commercial Bakeries) and 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), supplemented by 424410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers). She specializes in acquiring ready-to-eat meals, baked goods, and bulk grocery items requiring strict adherence to food safety standards and shelf-life controls. Amy’s technical expertise includes evaluating vendor compliance with USDA and FDA regulations, managing temperature-controlled logistics, and ensuring consistent product quality across distributed supply networks.
