Annette R Wright

Annette R. Wright supports the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Region 4 Emergency Preparedness mission by managing critical procurement activities that ensure operational readiness across disaster-prone jurisdictions. Though her official title is not listed, her role centers on acquiring services and infrastructure support essential to emergency response capacity, including security, electrical systems, transportation logistics, and specialized equipment. She facilitates acquisitions aligned with FEMA’s mandate to stabilize critical facilities and enable rapid resource deployment during crises, focusing on time-sensitive, mission-critical contracts that sustain federal, state, and local emergency operations. Her contractor relationships span a diverse base of vendors, particularly those qualified to deliver rapid-response support services. She routinely engages with electrical contractors, security patrol firms, and transportation support providers, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity contractors and small businesses capable of mobilizing under tight timelines. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitively awarded contracts that prioritize agility, compliance with federal emergency protocols, and scalability during surge events. Wright demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 25% of her portfolio reserved for small business participation, including 20% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 5% to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms that bring localized expertise to regional preparedness efforts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488490 (road transportation support), 238210 (electrical installation), 335312 (motor and generator manufacturing), and 561612 (security services), reflecting her technical expertise in securing power systems, emergency logistics, and physical security infrastructure. She specializes in procuring mission-critical equipment and services that directly support FEMA’s resilience objectives in the Southeastern U.S.
