Wendy Farnsworth serves as a Contract Specialist with the FA2543 460 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that sustain and modernize mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of construction and facility support contracts, from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration.

Wendy ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic infrastructure goals. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, Wendy’s procurement patterns reflect a consistent emphasis on collaboration with qualified small businesses, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her work fosters partnerships with niche contractors capable of delivering high-quality finishing and specialized facility services, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in complex, code-compliant construction environments. Wendy maintains a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside preference across her portfolio, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to maximizing opportunities for small businesses under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach prioritizes inclusive participation, ensuring that small, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms have equitable access to mission-critical work. This pattern underscores the agency’s broader mandate to strengthen the defense industrial base through broad-based small business engagement. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors), which accounts for half of her activity, reflecting expertise in interior finishes, coatings, and specialized installation services. The remaining half aligns with NAICS 712130 (Zoos and Botanical Gardens), indicating unique acquisitions for recreational, educational, or environmental infrastructure within Air Force installations—such as visitor centers, landscaping, and nature-based amenities. Wendy’s technical domain expertise spans both conventional facility modernization and unconventional, mission-supporting environmental enhancements.
