Kendall R. Wagner

Kendall R. Wagner serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. In this role, Wagner ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement activities across diverse technical domains. Their work centers on competitive solicitation strategies, source selection, and contract performance monitoring, with a focus on delivering high-value services that align with agency operational needs. Wagner typically handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring detailed technical evaluations and risk mitigation strategies, often involving specialized professional and technical support. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Wagner engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier service providers, and specialized technical firms. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a strong emphasis on fair and transparent processes that encourage market participation. Vendor partnerships are typically formed through competitive sealed bidding or negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work definitions. Wagner’s set-aside preferences show a clear inclination toward open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, they maintain a consistent commitment to small business participation, allocating 16.7% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing market efficiency while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses to compete on equal footing, without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Their primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences), indicating deep engagement with scientific and technical services. Additional emphasis on NAICS 811310 (industrial machinery repair) and air transportation support (481111, 488190) suggests expertise in logistics, maintenance, and aerospace-related services. Occasional procurement under 621210 (dental offices) further demonstrates adaptability across niche healthcare support sectors, underscoring a versatile technical acumen in complex service acquisition environments.
