Wanda D. King

Wanda D. King serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives for her agency. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions in the life sciences, analytical instrumentation, and information technology sectors, with a focus on procuring specialized laboratory equipment, in-vitro diagnostic products, and computer systems design services. She collaborates closely with technical stakeholders to translate scientific and operational needs into enforceable contract requirements that ensure quality, timeliness, and regulatory alignment. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers and service providers specializing in high-precision medical and analytical technologies. She maintains professional vendor relationships grounded in competitive solicitation practices, emphasizing technical evaluation, past performance, and compliance with quality standards such as ISO 13485 and FDA regulatory frameworks where applicable. Her approach prioritizes transparency, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting methodologies. Wanda demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 21.3% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are prominent in her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster market competition and expand opportunities for qualified small entities. Her contracting decisions align with federal goals to enhance small business access to government procurement. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 511210 (Software Publishers), each representing nearly a third of her activity, followed by surgical supplies (339113) and in-vitro diagnostics (325413). This technical specialization underscores her expertise in procuring advanced scientific and healthcare technologies, requiring deep familiarity with product specifications, validation protocols, and supply chain integrity in regulated environments.
