Wanda Washington

Wanda Washington serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex acquisitions in the health services sector, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—focusing primarily on insurance carrier services and home health care delivery. Her work supports the procurement of critical health-related solutions that enhance access, quality, and efficiency in patient care delivery systems, aligning with broader federal health policy goals. While specific contractor names are not available, Washington consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large institutional providers and small businesses certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering competitive environments while prioritizing opportunities for qualified small businesses. She maintains professional, transparent relationships with contractors, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contractual accountability. Washington demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to promote disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The remaining half of her portfolio operates under no set-aside, indicating a flexible, needs-based approach that balances equity goals with operational requirements. Her consistent use of the 8(a) program underscores her dedication to expanding market access for small, socially and economically disadvantaged firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), where she manages contracts for managed care, risk-based insurance products, and related administrative services. She also frequently procures under NAICS 621610 (Home Health Care Services), securing providers that deliver skilled nursing, therapy, and personal care in home-based settings. This dual specialization reveals deep expertise in health insurance administration and community-based care delivery, positioning her as a key player in advancing integrated, patient-centered health procurement strategies.
