Alan W Wright

Alan W. Wright serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical training systems for naval aviation and maritime operations. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced simulation platforms, immersive training environments, and avionics infrastructure designed to enhance pilot and aircrew readiness. His portfolio centers on complex technical acquisitions aligned with the Department of the Navy’s strategic modernization goals, including tactical combat training systems and curriculum-integrated learning technologies. Wright ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering timely, cost-effective solutions that support operational readiness across the fleet. His primary contractor relationships are anchored by long-standing partnerships with STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC, and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized flight training services and high-fidelity simulation systems. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in aviation training technology and instructional design. Wright’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to ensure accountability and mission alignment. While the majority of his acquisitions—91.7%—are conducted as unrestricted competitions, Wright maintains a consistent 8.3% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to include qualified small businesses in the training systems ecosystem. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach: prioritizing technical capability while supporting small business participation without compromising mission requirements. His NAICS focus is overwhelmingly centered on 611512 (Flight Training), which accounts for nearly 80% of his portfolio, with additional activity in engineering services, professional development training, and legal support services. Wright’s domain expertise lies in procuring advanced aviation training systems, including synthetic training devices, distributed mission training networks, and integrated learning management platforms essential to naval aviation workforce readiness.
