Arnetha V. Wiggs

Arnetha E. Wiggs serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for professional and technical services across a diverse range of federal programs. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation while advancing mission-critical objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. She typically handles solicitations for architectural design, workforce development, and administrative support services, often coordinating with program managers to align procurement strategy with operational needs. Her expertise lies in structuring transparent, defensible contracts that promote efficiency, accountability, and value for taxpayer dollars. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, professional service firms, and training providers. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors capable of delivering high-quality, compliant services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements. Her approach emphasizes fair competition and clear performance metrics, encouraging vendor innovation while maintaining rigorous oversight throughout contract execution. Wiggs demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 25% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 6.3% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. Though the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand market access for underserved entrepreneurs and promote equitable economic opportunity within federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), where she oversees design and planning contracts, followed by NAICS 611513 (Apprenticeship Training) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), indicating a specialization in human capital development and workforce readiness initiatives.

Her technical domain expertise spans construction planning, workforce training design, and operational support systems.
