Alan M Wade

Alan M. Wade serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NA Uspfo Activity Kyang 123, operating under the Department of the Army, where he is responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain expeditionary operations. His role centers on ensuring logistical readiness by securing specialized equipment and services essential to remote and austere environments, including pumping systems for water and fuel distribution and nonscheduled air transportation for personnel and critical cargo. Wade’s acquisitions directly support force sustainability, with a focus on tactical infrastructure, field-deployable logistics, and operational support systems that enable mission continuity under demanding conditions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Wade maintains a robust network of vendors specializing in defense-grade mechanical and aviation logistics solutions. He engages with both established defense suppliers and emerging small businesses capable of rapid response and field adaptability, fostering partnerships grounded in performance reliability, compliance with military specifications, and agile delivery timelines. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor collaboration to meet dynamic operational demands in austere theaters. Wade demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small disadvantaged firms, including HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, aligning with Department of the Army socioeconomic goals while enhancing innovation and resilience in the supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333914 for measuring, dispensing, and pumping equipment—particularly ruggedized, field-deployable systems—and NAICS 481219 for other nonscheduled air transportation, including charter and rotary-wing support for forward operating bases. Wade possesses deep technical expertise in military logistics equipment standards and expeditionary air transport protocols, ensuring all procurements meet stringent DoD performance and safety requirements.
