Wanda Stevens

Wanda Stevens serves as a key procurement lead within the Enterprise Information Technology unit of the Transportation Security Administration, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical information technology services designed to secure and modernize national transportation infrastructure. Her work centers on procuring cybersecurity-enabled computing solutions, cloud-based infrastructure, and systems design services that ensure the resilience and operational continuity of high-priority transportation networks. She manages full lifecycle contracting activities—from requirements definition and market research to source selection and contract administration—ensuring alignment with DHS and TSA cybersecurity standards and federal acquisition regulations. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on complex, technical IT services requiring deep domain expertise in risk mitigation and system integration. Stevens engages with a broad spectrum of IT service providers, including systems integrators, cloud service specialists, and cybersecurity consultants, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and service-level agreements. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently works with firms possessing demonstrated capability in zero-trust architecture, secure cloud migration, and real-time threat detection systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical competency, past performance, and compliance with NIST and FISMA requirements, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in federal transportation environments. Stevens maintains a strict preference for open, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her procurements conducted under unrestricted competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and innovation over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on merit-based selection rather than mandated set-asides, ensuring the highest technical standards are met for mission-critical systems. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing managed cybersecurity services, systems engineering, IT modernization, and cloud infrastructure support. She routinely acquires services related to secure containerization, identity and access management, and continuous monitoring platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in enterprise IT modernization within high-threat federal environments.
