Alan A. Wile

W. Alan Wile serves as a Contract Specialist with the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk (N40442), where he manages the acquisition of critical maintenance, repair, and modernization services for the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant government-owned vessels. His role is central to sustaining the operational readiness of the maritime logistics fleet, overseeing contracts for propulsion systems, marine HVAC, navigation instrumentation, and vessel repair infrastructure. Wile handles complex, technically demanding procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with defense-specific requirements and lifecycle support standards for naval surface platforms. While specific contractor names are not available, Wile routinely engages with a diverse pool of industrial service providers, including specialized engineering firms, marine repair yards, and precision instrument manufacturers. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in naval systems maintenance, often requiring ISO certification, naval shipyard experience, and technical expertise in marine propulsion and avionics integration. He fosters collaborative relationships with contractors who can deliver just-in-time support under stringent operational timelines and quality assurance protocols. Wile’s contracting portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 84.6% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he consistently allocates 15.4% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), nautical system manufacturing (334511), other engine equipment manufacturing (333618), and shipbuilding and repair (336611). These reflect deep technical expertise in marine mechanical systems, instrumentation, and vessel sustainment, positioning him as a key procurement authority for specialized naval support services requiring certified industrial and engineering capabilities.
