Wanda M. Holliday

Wanda M. Holliday serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives within her organization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, scientific, and technical services, with a strong emphasis on research and development activities in the physical and life sciences. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, often involving interdisciplinary teams and stringent deliverable standards. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with a broad base of professional service providers, including both large-capability firms and small businesses capable of delivering high-value technical solutions. Her working relationships reflect a focus on vendor performance, compliance, and innovation, with an emphasis on maintaining competitive bidding environments and ensuring contractual accountability across diverse service domains. Holliday’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 91.9% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, she maintains a deliberate and measurable commitment to small business participation, with 8.1% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while actively enabling small business access to federal opportunities through targeted set-asides, consistent with socioeconomic contracting goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical, engineering, and life sciences) and 541990 (other professional, scientific, and technical services), which together account for over 70% of her activity. She also regularly procures services in computer systems design and biological product manufacturing, demonstrating expertise in technical domains requiring specialized scientific, engineering, and analytical capabilities. Her work supports advanced research initiatives and mission-critical technical services across government programs.
