Shadonna Minis

Shadonna Minis serves as a Contracting Officer at the Defense Media Activity (DMA) Riverside, HQ0028, under the Department of Defense, where she leads the acquisition of multimedia and broadcast solutions critical to military communications and public affairs operations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contracts with DMA’s mission to deliver secure, high-quality audiovisual content for internal and public audiences. Her portfolio primarily encompasses motion picture and video distribution services, including digital content delivery platforms, broadcast infrastructure modernization, and multimedia production systems, requiring deep technical understanding of DoD media standards and cybersecurity requirements. Minis collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in defense-grade media production and distribution, including prime contractors with proven experience in DoD environments and niche providers of secure streaming technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and adherence to DoD information assurance protocols. While no specific contractor relationships are currently dominant in her portfolio, she maintains a consistent focus on vendors capable of supporting rapid content deployment across classified and unclassified networks. Minis’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects DMA Riverside’s operational need for specialized, scalable solutions that require broad market participation and technical depth rather than socioeconomic preferences. She does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead emphasizing capability, compliance, and mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus is 512120 (Motion Picture and Video Distribution), underscoring her specialization in procuring end-to-end media distribution systems, digital asset management platforms, and secure video streaming services. She routinely evaluates technical proposals for compliance with DoD media formats, bandwidth requirements, and interoperability standards, demonstrating expertise in the evolving landscape of military multimedia operations.
