Daniel Wehnes

Daniel Wehnes serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4610 30 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain critical infrastructure at Vandenberg Space Force Base. His role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of facility maintenance, security services, and technical support contracts essential to national security space missions. He specializes in service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with a focus on long-term, performance-based contracts that align with the agency’s infrastructure modernization and resilience goals. Wehnes consistently prioritizes mission-critical support functions that maintain the integrity of launch and test site operations. Wehnes maintains stable, ongoing relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure support, DIVERSE PEST MANAGEMENT for environmental compliance services, TECH O. R., LLC for technical maintenance, KING FREIGHT LLC for logistics coordination, and DARBONNIER TACTICAL SUPPLY LLC for tactical supply chain support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven on-site capability, security clearance compliance, and experience in high-reliability environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, sustained vendor engagement, and responsiveness to dynamic operational needs. Wehnes directs 100% of his acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, fully aligning with the Department of the Air Force’s socioeconomic goals. All contracts are awarded to small businesses without regard to specific subcategories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a broad-based commitment to small business participation across the socioeconomic spectrum. This uniform set-aside strategy ensures maximum competition and capability development among qualified small firms serving defense infrastructure. His procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting a specialized domain expertise in physical security, access control, and perimeter protection for sensitive space operations sites. He procures armed and unarmed security services, surveillance system support, and integrated security operations tailored to Department of Defense standards, ensuring continuous protection of critical national assets.
