Markquita Wiggins

Markquita Wiggins serves as a Supervisory Contract Specialist, overseeing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions to support mission-critical government operations. In her role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while strategically aligning acquisitions with agency objectives. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts primarily focused on advanced instrumentation and aerospace systems, guiding teams through solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and performance monitoring. Her expertise lies in navigating technical requirements for high-precision equipment and ensuring timely, lawful execution of procurements that deliver operational readiness. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers of industrial measurement, control, and aeronautical systems. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large-tier defense contractors and specialized small businesses capable of delivering engineered solutions in precision instrumentation and avionics. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation rigor, and performance-based contracting to ensure value and reliability in mission-supporting technologies. Wiggins demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 90.7% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with nearly 9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides are used sparingly but strategically, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising technical or operational requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334511, 334513, and 334519, reflecting deep expertise in the design and acquisition of industrial sensors, process control instruments, and aeronautical navigation systems. She routinely procures flight-critical components, data acquisition devices, and automated monitoring equipment used in defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure applications, demonstrating specialized knowledge in technical specifications, calibration standards, and system integration requirements.
