Tabitha Marie Wheeler

Tabitha Marie Wheeler serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex technical acquisitions within a federal agency, with a focus on information technology and engineering services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely and compliant procurement of mission-critical systems and professional services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses IT modernization, systems integration, and technical consulting contracts, requiring deep familiarity with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting methodologies. Wheeler consistently aligns her acquisition strategy with agency priorities, emphasizing outcome-driven requirements and risk-mitigated sourcing approaches. Her contractor relationships span a diverse range of vendors specializing in computer systems design, engineering consulting, and digital services. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she engages with both large prime contractors and mid-tier firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Her working pattern reflects a preference for competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, fostering a transparent and equitable procurement environment. She prioritizes vendors with proven technical capabilities and strong past performance in similar domains. Wheeler’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize technical merit and value over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all statutory requirements for small business outreach. Her approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection while maintaining rigorous oversight of vendor qualifications and performance metrics. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 519190 (Other Information Services), indicating a strong alignment with digital transformation, infrastructure modernization, and data-driven operational support. She regularly acquires cloud-enabled platforms, cybersecurity-integrated systems, and analytical tools requiring specialized technical expertise, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in IT architecture and systems engineering.
