162d Wing Contracting

The 162d Wing Contracting team operates under the W7MV Uspfo Activity Azang 162, a Department of Defense entity within the Army’s installation support structure, responsible for managing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain operational readiness and quality-of-life services for military personnel. Their portfolio centers on acquiring infrastructure maintenance, logistics support, and personnel welfare services, including healthcare, lodging, and food services essential to base operations. As a key procurement node, they execute competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 15 and FAR Part 19, ensuring compliance with federal contracting standards while aligning with the agency’s strategic imperatives for resilience and readiness. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, the team maintains a robust network of vendors across healthcare, hospitality, and aerospace support sectors, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized, mission-aligned services. Their contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to meet stringent operational standards for safety, timeliness, and compliance with DoD regulations. Vendor relationships are typically structured through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and task order mechanisms to ensure flexible, scalable support. The team demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of their awards designated as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of total small business set-asides signals a proactive effort to cultivate a diverse supplier base and strengthen local economic resilience. Their procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 621340 (therapy and audiology services), 336413 (aircraft auxiliary equipment), 722310 (food service contractors), and 721110 (lodging services), indicating deep expertise in sustaining both human capital and technical readiness. They routinely acquire specialized medical support, aviation component maintenance, and transient lodging solutions, requiring technical proficiency in military-specific operational requirements and regulatory compliance.
