Wendy M. Washington

Wendy M. Washington serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurement actions across a diverse range of technical and industrial sectors. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and sound contract administration. She typically handles acquisitions involving manufacturing, information technology infrastructure, and waste management services, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program offices to align contract requirements with operational needs. Her work supports the procurement lifecycle from solicitation through award and performance oversight, ensuring transparency, fairness, and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not available, Washington maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-capacity vendors and small business concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with a significant portion of awards issued through full and open solicitations. She collaborates with a broad base of suppliers, including manufacturers of specialized equipment and service providers in technology and environmental sectors, fostering relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Washington demonstrates a measurable commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 20% of her awards designated for 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate effort to promote small business participation, particularly among disadvantaged entrepreneurs, while maintaining competitive integrity. Her set-aside strategy prioritizes 8(a) eligibility over other socioeconomic categories, aligning with federal goals to expand opportunities for certified small businesses without compromising acquisition efficiency. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 333921 (Elevator and Moving Stairway Manufacturing), NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications), and NAICS 334118 (Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep engagement with industrial equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and hardware production. She also regularly procures waste collection services under NAICS 562119 and general hardware manufacturing under NAICS 332510. This technical diversity underscores her expertise in managing acquisitions for both physical infrastructure and digital systems, requiring nuanced understanding of supply chain dynamics and technical specifications.
