Rachael Waggoner

Rachael Waggoner serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical readiness through the acquisition of specialized services essential to base sustainment, communications infrastructure, and personnel training. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities, including IT modernization, logistical support, and facility operations across both garrisoned and deployed environments. Her role involves end-to-end acquisition execution—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing operational readiness objectives. Waggoner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including SUPPLYCORE LLC for logistics and supply chain services, CYBERPROTEX, LLC for cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, AADS OFFICE SOLUTIONS INT'L LLC for administrative support, Liberty Communications, Inc. for communications systems, and MUSIC MINISTRY INTERNATIONAL INC for morale, welfare, and recreation programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in niche service domains, often leveraging indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to ensure responsive and scalable support. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong inclination toward small business participation, with 36.4% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity and innovation among qualified small entities. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, her consistent use of small business contracting aligns with Department of Defense mandates to broaden vendor diversity. Waggoner’s primary NAICS focus includes custom computer programming (541511), research and development in physical sciences (541712), and unexpected but mission-aligned categories such as hotel services (721110) and photographic chemical manufacturing (325992), reflecting the unconventional yet critical nature of base sustainment and personnel support services. Her expertise spans both technical IT domains and ancillary services essential to daily operational continuity.
