Wendy M. Courtney

Wendy M. Courtney serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions within a federal procurement environment. She specializes in sourcing advanced aerospace and fluid power systems, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission requirements. Her work supports critical defense and aviation infrastructure by securing high-performance components through competitive, transparent, and efficient contracting processes. Courtney handles both sealed bids and negotiated procurements, with a focus on technical specifications for aircraft subsystems and hydraulic systems used in military and aerospace applications. While specific contractor names are not available, Courtney maintains a consistent engagement pattern with manufacturers of aircraft auxiliary equipment and fluid power systems, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory adherence. She collaborates with both large prime contractors and small business suppliers, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contractual accountability. Her procurement approach prioritizes risk mitigation through rigorous source selection and post-award oversight, ensuring delivered systems meet stringent operational standards. Courtney demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, she actively promotes small business inclusion by leveraging set-aside authorities and ensuring solicitations are tailored to encourage participation from qualified small manufacturers. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—supporting economic diversity without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of specialized aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics mounts, control actuators, and non-propulsion subsystems. She also frequently procures fluid power pumps and motors under NAICS 333996, requiring deep technical understanding of hydraulic and pneumatic system integration. Courtney’s expertise spans mechanical engineering standards, military specifications (MIL-SPEC), and quality assurance protocols critical to aerospace supply chain integrity.
