Betsy L. Lawrie

Betsy L. Lawrie serves as a key procurement lead within the W7N5 USPFO Activity VA ARNG, supporting the readiness and sustainment of the Virginia Army National Guard through the acquisition of essential non-combat services. Her responsibilities center on securing critical operational support functions—including food service, facility maintenance, and logistical operations—that ensure troop welfare and mission continuity across garrison and training sites. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Department of the Army, applying Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) protocols to deliver timely, compliant, and mission-critical solutions aligned with National Guard operational requirements. Lawrie maintains a consistent working relationship with WABASH CONSULTANTS, LLC, a primary vendor partner for specialized support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established small business vendors with proven capabilities in niche operational domains, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and regulatory compliance. She actively engages with contractors who demonstrate capacity to deliver scalable, on-site services under dynamic military conditions, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contract oversight. Her procurement strategy is heavily weighted toward small business participation, with 71.4% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to economic inclusion. An additional 14.3% of contracts are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting alignment with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals. The remaining awards are open competition, used selectively when specialized capabilities are not available within the small business base. Lawrie’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 323113 (Commercial Screen Printing), 721110 (Hotels and Motels), 314999 (Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), and 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing). These categories reflect her expertise in acquiring tailored uniform and insignia production, temporary lodging for training rotations, textile-based operational gear, and perishable food services that meet military nutritional standards. Her domain knowledge bridges logistics, supply chain resilience, and service delivery in austere environments.
