Judith C Tims

Judith C. Tims serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices within her organization. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on fabricated wire products, where she leverages deep technical understanding of manufacturing standards and material specifications to align contract requirements with operational needs. Tims routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and simplified acquisition procedures, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and performance-based outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Tims maintains a broad network of manufacturers and fabricators capable of delivering precision wire products to government specifications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitations. She engages with vendors ranging from small workshops to mid-sized industrial manufacturers, fostering relationships grounded in technical capability, quality assurance, and timely delivery. Her approach prioritizes vendor responsiveness and adherence to ASTM and ANSI standards for fabricated metal components. Tims demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small manufacturers. This pattern supports broader agency goals of economic inclusivity without compromising competition or technical rigor. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 332618—Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing—encompassing custom wire forms, springs, mesh, and structural wire components used in industrial, defense, and infrastructure applications. Tims possesses specialized expertise in material selection, tolerance requirements, and production processes critical to high-reliability wire product applications, ensuring that contract deliverables meet stringent performance and durability standards.
