Wendy M. Courtney

Wendy M. Courtney serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her work supports critical procurement missions involving specialized technical equipment and instrumentation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contracting practices. She routinely handles complex procurements for high-precision manufacturing and measurement systems, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous source selection processes under FAR Part 15. Wendy collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including small businesses, mid-tier manufacturers, and specialized suppliers of electronic instrumentation and industrial machinery. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct engagements with vendors possessing niche technical capabilities, particularly those capable of delivering custom or low-volume production solutions. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate past performance in regulated environments and maintain robust quality control systems aligned with ISO and MIL-STD standards. Wendy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 80% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. Her portfolio consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises and other small business concerns. She actively promotes fair competition and ensures socioeconomic goals are integrated into acquisition planning and evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in five key NAICS categories, including Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515), Totalizing Fluid Meter and Counting Device Manufacturing (334514), and Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (333924). She specializes in acquiring precision measurement devices, automated control systems, and mission-critical aerospace components, demonstrating expertise in technical domains requiring stringent compliance, calibration, and reliability standards.
