Monica Wilson

Monica Wilson serves as a primary contracting professional at the NASA Shared Services Center, where she plays a critical role in acquiring mission-enabling technologies that support NASA’s scientific and operational objectives. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements for high-precision analytical instruments, specialized software systems, and engineering services that underpin NASA’s research infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract actions with the agency’s strategic goals in space exploration and Earth science. Her acquisitions typically involve complex technical requirements, demanding rigorous evaluation of vendor capabilities in scientific instrumentation and computational support. Wilson maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including NEXTROW INC and PENN OAK SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized technical services and support for NASA’s advanced instrumentation and data systems. Her working patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in delivering reliable, high-integrity solutions under stringent NASA compliance standards. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, performance-based contract structures, and collaborative problem-solving to meet evolving mission needs. A defining feature of Wilson’s procurement strategy is her strong emphasis on small business participation, with 71.3% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through economically disadvantaged and minority-owned firms, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals while expanding the pool of qualified technical vendors. Her contracting approach prioritizes inclusivity without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Other Computer Related Services (541519), Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516), and Software Publishers (513210), underscoring her expertise in procuring advanced data acquisition systems, scientific software platforms, and precision instrumentation. She consistently sources solutions that integrate with NASA’s high-performance computing environments and laboratory networks, demonstrating deep technical fluency in the domains of aerospace instrumentation and mission-critical software ecosystems.
