Wayne Shavers

Wayne Shavers serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission by ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), while promoting fair and open competition. His portfolio primarily consists of construction-related services, including specialty trade contracting and site preparation, with a strong emphasis on small business participation and socioeconomic goals. Wayne routinely handles competitive solicitations under both full and open and set-aside authorities, ensuring that procurements align with statutory mandates and agency priorities. Wayne collaborates closely with a diverse array of small business contractors, particularly those certified under HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business, and Total Small Business programs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for engaging qualified small businesses with proven capabilities in specialty construction trades. He fosters transparent, compliant relationships with vendors, encouraging pre-solicitation outreach and market research to ensure that solicitation requirements are realistic and accessible to small business applicants. His approach emphasizes early vendor engagement and clear communication to enhance competition and reduce post-award protests. Wayne demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 86% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides—specifically HUBZone, Total Small Business, and Women-Owned Small Business categories, each accounting for 28.6% of his portfolio. This consistent focus underscores his dedication to expanding economic opportunity for underserved communities and promoting equitable access to federal contracting. He actively leverages FAR Part 19 authorities to meet agency small business goals while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), and 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), with additional activity in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors). Wayne specializes in procuring construction services requiring skilled trades expertise, including structural finishes, site grading, and building envelope systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with construction industry standards and performance-based contracting methodologies.
