Tashona Beale

Tashona Beale serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency within the Department of Defense responsible for enabling enterprise-wide administrative and operational efficiency. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with WHS’s mission to modernize defense infrastructure and optimize institutional management systems. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex, high-value contracts for technical consulting, systems design, and business support services, requiring deep expertise in FAR Part 12 and Part 15 acquisition methodologies. Beale maintains established relationships with a core group of vendors including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC., reflecting a preference for experienced, non-traditional defense contractors with proven capabilities in enterprise modernization and mission support. Her contracting patterns demonstrate consistent collaboration with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions across IT, management consulting, and facility services, often requiring multi-disciplinary teaming arrangements. While the majority of her acquisitions—81.8%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently allocates 18.2% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation within the DoD’s institutional support ecosystem. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy prioritizes broad-based small business engagement over narrow socio-economic categories. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), underscoring her specialization in procurement of IT consulting, systems integration, administrative management support, and technical advisory services. She routinely acquires solutions that enhance digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and operational readiness across DoD components.
