Tamara Stavenes

Tamara Stavenes serves as a key procurement professional within the W7NT Uspfo Activity Ndang 119, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining garrison and expeditionary operations through mission-enabling acquisitions. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on secure wireless communications infrastructure, environmental control systems, and personnel support services critical to operational readiness at remote locations. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in network resilience and facility modernization, ensuring that deployed units maintain uninterrupted mission capability through timely and compliant acquisition processes. Stavenes maintains consistent working relationships with core contractors including NMH TECH, INC. and ROYAL MEDIA NETWORK, INC., both of which provide specialized communications and media support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in military-grade wireless systems and expeditionary logistics, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and performance-based service contracts to ensure flexibility and accountability. These partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement and a focus on technical compliance with DoD security standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Stavenes consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with 76.2% of her awards designated for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and increase socioeconomic inclusion, aligning with DoD mandates to empower small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, fair opportunity, and mentorship of emerging vendors within the defense ecosystem. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, 517111 for wired telecommunications carriers, and 721110 for lodging services supporting transient military personnel. She frequently procures ruggedized communication hardware, secure network components, and modular environmental systems tailored for austere environments, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with defense-specific infrastructure requirements and supply chain constraints.
