Wanda F. Diggs

Wanda F. Diggs serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army (W911RX), where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness of Army installations. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for critical infrastructure support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven requirements. Her acquisitions primarily focus on facilities maintenance, utilities support, and specialized environmental services essential to maintaining secure, habitable, and functional military environments. Diggs works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with installation needs, emphasizing reliability, compliance, and long-term sustainment. Her primary contractor relationship is with CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, a trusted partner in delivering integrated base operations support. She cultivates stable, performance-based vendor partnerships grounded in clear deliverables and service-level expectations, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order contracting mechanisms to respond dynamically to installation requirements. While CHENEGA is the dominant contractor, she maintains an active pipeline with smaller vendors to ensure competition and resilience in the supply base. Diggs demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 20% specifically reserved for women-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation, aligning with Army and DoD mandates to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified vendors. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 532210 (consumer electronics and appliances rental), NAICS 561710 (exterminating and pest control services), and NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors). These reflect her technical expertise in procuring environmental health services, climate control systems, and temporary equipment leasing critical to garrison livability and regulatory compliance. She brings specialized knowledge in facility sustainment contracting, ensuring services meet military standards for safety, sanitation, and operational continuity.
