Audreya J.P. Taitano

Audreya J.P. Taitano serves as Supervisory Contract Specialist for the W7QP Uspfo Activity Gu Arng, a unit within the Guam Army National Guard under the Department of the Army. In this leadership role, she oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining operational readiness, including the acquisition of professional services, logistical support infrastructure, and personnel-centric programs. Her portfolio emphasizes contracts that enable recruitment, retention, medical logistics, family support, and community reintegration initiatives for Guard members and their families. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic readiness goals, managing both simplified and negotiated acquisitions across diverse service categories. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Taitano cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors capable of delivering specialized professional services and essential support solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure quality and mission alignment. She maintains collaborative relationships with both large-capability firms and small businesses, prioritizing transparency, accountability, and value-driven outcomes in all vendor engagements. Taitano demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 28% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the local and national small business community, particularly among firms qualified under socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), reflecting demand for administrative, training, and mobility support services. She also regularly acquires services under NAICS 611699 (Miscellaneous Instruction), 721110 (Hotels and Motels), and 621210 (Dental Offices), indicating a diverse operational footprint that supports both personnel welfare and mission-enabling infrastructure. Her expertise spans contract administration, market research, and performance monitoring across non-traditional defense service domains.
