Her procurement approach emphasizes technical reliability, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and quality assurance protocols. Wideman’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs.

Her procurement focus is concentrated in five primary NAICS categories: surgical and medical instrument manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing, all other miscellaneous manufacturing, and educational support services. These reflect a deep technical domain expertise in clinical diagnostics, laboratory automation, medical device lifecycle management, and workforce training infrastructure critical to sustaining military medical readiness.
