Edward Waghorn

Edward Waghorn serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and lifecycle management of process, physical distribution, and logistics consulting services. In this role, he ensures alignment between operational needs and strategic procurement initiatives, guiding the development of solicitation documents, evaluating technical proposals, and managing contract performance to deliver mission-critical logistics optimization solutions. His work directly supports the agency’s efficiency goals by securing expert advisory services that enhance supply chain resilience, workflow design, and operational logistics planning. Waghorn primarily handles performance-based, fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts for professional consulting services, with a strong emphasis on outcome-driven deliverables and measurable performance metrics. Waghorn maintains a broad and competitive contractor base, engaging with a diverse range of consulting firms specializing in logistics analytics, supply chain modeling, and operational process improvement. He fosters collaborative relationships with both large-scale professional services firms and niche consultancies capable of delivering tailored solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes technical merit, past performance, and demonstrated expertise in logistics systems rather than reliance on a limited pool of vendors, promoting healthy market competition and innovation. Waghorn’s contracting patterns reflect a consistent preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified provider regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and value over mandated small business preferences. While he does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and encourages broad market participation. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541614, which encompasses process, physical distribution, and logistics consulting services. He specializes in acquiring strategic advisory work related to inventory optimization, transportation network design, warehouse automation, and end-to-end supply chain analytics. Waghorn’s technical domain expertise lies in operational logistics modernization, with a clear emphasis on data-driven decision-making and process reengineering to improve public sector supply chain performance.
