Wayne V Thompson

Wayne V. Thompson serves as the primary contracting lead for the W40M MRC0 West agency under the Department of the Army, responsible for executing strategic acquisitions that sustain and enhance medical readiness for deployed military forces. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurements centered on in-vitro diagnostic substances, surgical instruments, sterilization systems, and blood management technologies critical to high-acuity field medical operations. His role ensures the timely acquisition of mission-critical medical capabilities aligned with operational sovereignty requirements, bridging clinical needs with federal procurement compliance under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Thompson maintains consistent, high-volume relationships with leading medical technology suppliers including Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Abbott Molecular Inc., Cardinal Health 414, LLC, Surgical Neuromonitoring Associates, Inc., and Premier Shockwave, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in diagnostic instrumentation, sterile supply chain logistics, and electromedical monitoring systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and supply chain resilience, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure rapid response to dynamic field requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions—84.4%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Thompson demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 15.6% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach: prioritizing mission-critical performance while actively engaging qualified small businesses in the medical device and laboratory services sectors, though without formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in testing laboratories (541380) and electromedical apparatus manufacturing (334510). He specializes in procuring precision diagnostic reagents, sterile surgical kits, automated sterilization equipment, and real-time neuromonitoring systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in the lifecycle management of advanced medical technologies for expeditionary care environments.
