Waymon D. Gardner

Waymon Gardner serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Commanding General’s office under the Department of the Navy, supporting the sustainment of naval and marine force readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical maintenance, logistics, and technical support services. While not the lead contracting officer, Gardner plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, coordinating requirements validation, and ensuring alignment with strategic readiness goals. His work primarily involves mid-tier acquisitions for equipment repair, facility support, and computerized systems management, ensuring that combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure remain operational across garrison and deployed environments. Gardner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized vendors capable of delivering precision maintenance, chemical handling solutions, and technical support for electronic and industrial equipment. His procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established small business contractors with proven technical capabilities in niche domains, fostering reliable, repeat vendor engagement grounded in performance history rather than broad-scale competition. His contracting approach reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Service-disabled veteran-owned and women-owned small businesses also receive meaningful consideration, with set-asides totaling nearly 13% combined. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining operational reliability through vetted, certified small business partners. Gardner’s primary NAICS focus centers on facilities support services (561210) and electronic/precision equipment repair and maintenance (811210), with notable activity in commercial and industrial machinery maintenance (811310) and computer facilities management (541513). His portfolio underscores deep technical expertise in sustaining complex military equipment, from diagnostic systems to environmental and mechanical infrastructure, ensuring seamless readiness across diverse operational theaters.
