Rayshua Wagenheim

Rayshua Wagenheim serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0413 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions supporting expeditionary and garrisoned military operations. Her work centers on securing essential life support, mobility, and infrastructure-enabling services critical to sustaining Army installations in austere and remote environments. She routinely handles complex service contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on procurement planning, source selection, contract award, and performance monitoring for mission-critical logistics and base operations support. Her acquisitions directly enable operational readiness by ensuring timely access to transportation, equipment rental, and essential installation services. Wagenheim maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including MATSON NAVIGATION COMPANY, INC. and ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC, reflecting a reliance on specialized service providers with proven capability in maritime logistics and linguistic support for deployed forces. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract structures that prioritize reliability, scalability, and compliance with military operational standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor accountability, risk mitigation, and mission alignment over transactional engagement, fostering trusted relationships with contractors who deliver mission-critical capabilities under demanding conditions. Wagenheim’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a procurement strategy focused on maximizing market competition and selecting the most capable providers regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than prioritizing small business set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, her process remains transparent and compliant with all regulatory requirements for fair competition. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 511210—Software Publishers—indicating a specialized need for custom software solutions, digital logistics platforms, or mission-specific applications that support command and control, asset tracking, or language translation systems in deployed environments. This technical domain expertise underscores her role in acquiring advanced digital services that enhance operational efficiency and interoperability across Army installations.
