Wanda Garnett

Wanda Garnett serves as a Contract Specialist within the Special Contracting Branches A and B of the Federal Acquisition Service’s General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical logistics, warehousing, and specialized manufacturing services essential to federal operational readiness. Her acquisitions focus on enabling end-to-end supply chain resilience for both defense and civilian missions, particularly in overseas and contingency environments. She manages complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, primarily utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price contracts to acquire industrial support capabilities, including vehicle body and heavy equipment manufacturing, motor and generator systems, and specialized wholesale distribution services. Wanda maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including COMMUNICATION LOGIC LLC, LC INDUSTRIES INC, and FSR CONSULTING LLC, who provide niche technical and logistical support aligned with mission-critical requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering reliability and responsiveness in high-stakes operational environments. These relationships are built on demonstrated capability, past performance, and compliance with stringent federal supply chain standards. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Wanda consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation without compromising mission needs. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing broad small business eligibility under the total small business category to maximize competition and innovation. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336211 (Motor Vehicle Body Manufacturing), 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), and 424490 (Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting expertise in industrial equipment, mobility platforms, and specialized supply chain logistics. She brings deep technical knowledge of military-grade vehicle modifications, power generation systems, and perishable goods distribution for austere environments.
