Barbara Wiley

Barbara Darlene Wiley serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal procurement actions, from requirement definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring timely and compliant acquisition of mission-critical hardware and fabricated metal components, aligning procurement activities with federal acquisition regulations and agency operational needs. Her portfolio primarily consists of competitive sealed bids and fixed-price contracts for industrial and electronic manufacturing goods, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications and supply chain reliability. Wiley’s work supports the procurement infrastructure for defense, infrastructure, and industrial systems requiring precision-engineered components. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Wiley’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for established manufacturers with proven capabilities in metal fabrication and electronic component production. She engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-scale industrial suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical and quality standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and adherence to FAR Part 15 procedures, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships. Wiley’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 98.8% of her acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. Only 1.2% of her awards are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. This pattern suggests she prioritizes technical capability and market competitiveness over socioeconomic preferences, reserving set-asides for cases where qualified small businesses meet exacting performance requirements. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), accounting for over 70% of her activity, with additional emphasis on bolt, nut, and screw manufacturing (332722) and other electronic component production (334419). She specializes in procuring precision metal components, fasteners, and custom electronic subsystems used in industrial, aerospace, and defense applications, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with material specifications, tolerances, and quality control standards critical to mission-critical systems.
