Wendy J. Wallace serves as a Contract Specialist within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 11, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements for information technology and professional services. Her work directly supports federal agencies in modernizing digital infrastructure, enhancing cybersecurity, and deploying scalable software solutions. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, primarily utilizing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to ensure agile, responsive contracting. Her focus is on delivering secure, high-performance IT capabilities that align with GSA FAS’s strategic objectives for digital transformation and operational resilience. Wendy collaborates with a broad spectrum of contractors, including established systems integrators, niche software developers, and specialized IT service providers. She fosters collaborative, performance-based vendor relationships grounded in clear statement of work requirements and rigorous evaluation criteria. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in cloud migration, cybersecurity compliance, and legacy system modernization, ensuring technical rigor and mission alignment across contract awards. Wendy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 20% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes small business participation, particularly among firms certified under the SBA’s 8(a), HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business programs, aligning with federal mandates to expand equitable access to government contracts. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate balance between competitive open market opportunities and targeted set-asides to promote diversity in the federal supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), encompassing custom software development, IT consulting, and systems integration. She also procures specialized communications equipment and analytical instrumentation, demonstrating technical fluency across cybersecurity, data analytics, and laboratory automation domains. Wendy’s expertise ensures that acquisitions deliver not only functional outcomes but also long-term operational value to federal stakeholders.
