Wanza B. Jonjo

Wanza B. Jonjo serves as a Contract Officer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she manages the acquisition of technical services and specialized equipment critical to advancing measurement science, semiconductor standards, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Her portfolio centers on supporting NIST’s mission to enhance industrial competitiveness and national technological leadership through precise, standards-driven innovation. Jonjo routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 15, including performance-based service contracts, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, and commercial item acquisitions for scientific instrumentation and software development. She works closely with technical stakeholders to align contracting strategies with R&D objectives, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering agility in high-precision technical environments. Jonjo maintains consistent partnerships with key vendors including Quality Biological, Inc., ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND LABORATORIES (ATL) INTERNATIONAL, INC., and PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC., reflecting a focus on specialized scientific, analytical, and engineering services. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing deep domain expertise in metrology, semiconductor characterization, and laboratory instrumentation. She frequently engages with contractors offering custom software development, technical consulting, and high-end equipment supply, prioritizing technical capability and past performance over cost alone. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on broad market access, with 67.4% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a significant commitment to small businesses—nearly 30% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and over 3.5% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic goals. Jonjo’s primary NAICS focus includes Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), and Other Computer Related Services (541519), underscoring her specialization in IT-enabled research support, data analysis tools, and laboratory automation systems. She also procures specialized hardware under 335999 and 423430, reflecting expertise in sourcing precision electrical components and scientific software distribution channels aligned with NIST’s cutting-edge research infrastructure.
