About Tonya Artis

I am a federal contracts leader with deep expertise in contract lifecycle management, regulatory compliance, and enterprise contract governance across defense and civilian agencies.My experience spans cradle-to-grave acquisition management, including RFP development, negotiations, awards, modifications, and closeouts for complex prime contracts and subcontracts exceeding $300M. I bring strong command of FAR, DFARS, and agency supplements, with a proven ability to strengthen internal controls, improve contract processes, and reduce legal exposure and outside counsel costs.I have led CPSR remediation efforts resulting in zero-deficiency outcomes, implemented contract management systems such as Unanet to enhance audit readiness, and partnered closely with executive leadership to identify risk early and enable informed, growth-focused decisions.I am particularly effective in growth-stage federal contractors where structure, compliance discipline, and practical contract strategy are essential to scaling responsibly.Core focus areas include:• FAR/DFARS compliance and audit readiness• CPSR preparation and remediation• Prime and subcontract portfolio management• Contract governance and internal controls• Executive risk advisory• Unanet implementation and process optimization
