Wanda J Thompson

Wanda J. Thompson serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4528 5 Cons unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. Her work centers on facility construction, building systems integration, and operational support services, with a focus on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural construction for commercial and industrial facilities. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with mission-critical readiness goals, overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement from solicitation to contract administration. Thompson maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor delivering site development and construction services across multiple installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, fostering collaboration with contractors who demonstrate technical expertise in facility systems and infrastructure resilience. These relationships are strategically cultivated to ensure timely delivery of mission-essential construction and maintenance capabilities. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 81% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate emphasis on expanding economic opportunity within the defense industrial base. While 8(a) competed set-asides account for 4.8% of awards, the overwhelming preference for small business eligibility underscores a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to enhance competition and innovation among disadvantaged firms. Thompson’s primary procurement focus aligns with NAICS codes 444110 (Home Centers), 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), indicating deep engagement with building materials supply, heavy equipment procurement, and niche specialty trades.
