A1C Norris Wise

A1C Norris Wise serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4690 28 Cons Pkc, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining installation readiness through specialized procurement of industrial maintenance, security systems, and facility support services. In this role, Wise manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Air Force-specific directives. Their portfolio primarily encompasses technical services supporting environmental control systems, communications hardware, and machinery repair, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to maintain operational infrastructure resilience across Air Force installations. Wise maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc., and Astronics Test Systems Inc., both of which provide specialized industrial maintenance and test equipment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in mission-critical repair and calibration services, often requiring certified personnel and stringent quality control protocols. The working relationship is characterized by collaborative pre-solicitation engagement and performance-based contract structures that emphasize deliverables tied to system reliability and readiness metrics. A1C Wise exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of their acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded as full and open competitions. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster small business participation while maintaining competitive rigor and technical capability. No specific set-aside programs such as 8(a) or HUBZone dominate, suggesting a focus on broad small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomically disadvantaged categories. The agency’s procurement focus under Wise centers on NAICS 532210 (Consumer Electronics and Appliances Rental) and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a unique blend of equipment leasing and software-enabled technical services. This dual specialization reflects an evolving need to procure not only physical test and control hardware but also integrated software solutions for monitoring and managing facility systems, showcasing expertise in hybrid hardware-software acquisition environments.
