Lynette M. Thibodeaux serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to streamline administrative and operational functions through strategic procurement. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and contract administration—focusing on non-defense-related institutional services that enable enterprise-wide efficiency.

Thibodeaux maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions in facility operations, professional consulting, and niche manufacturing. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work development, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor engagements grounded in compliance and accountability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Thibodeaux consistently structures acquisitions with Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, allocating over 61% of her awards to small businesses. This pattern underscores her commitment to expanding market access for small firms across diverse socioeconomic categories, including service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and HUBZone businesses, while maintaining competitive, transparent processes that align with DoD procurement integrity standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 325998 for specialty chemical products, 337215 for custom storage and shelving systems, and 315210 for cut-and-sew apparel contracting, reflecting a unique blend of institutional supply needs and specialized manufacturing. She also regularly procures services under 926120 for transportation program administration and 339115 for ophthalmic goods, demonstrating expertise in managing technically specific, low-volume procurements that support mission-critical administrative functions across the DoD enterprise.
