Eric J. Wagner

Eric J. Wagner serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to sustain military readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational logistics systems critical to combat system sustainment and force projection. His responsibilities include full lifecycle procurement oversight—from solicitation and source selection to contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to modernize ammunition production and maintain installation infrastructure. Wagner maintains established working relationships with leading defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and THE LOCKWOOD GROUP LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced prime contractors capable of delivering complex engineering, technical services, and specialized manufacturing solutions. His procurement patterns demonstrate a reliance on long-term vendor relationships built on technical reliability, past performance, and proven capability in high-stakes defense environments. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (73.1%), Wagner consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 27% of awards designated for small business set-asides, including a notable 3.9% allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. His contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to both operational efficiency and socioeconomic goals, fostering opportunities for qualified small entities while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His technical focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant procurement activity in 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, and Guidance Systems). These reflect deep expertise in procuring precision instrumentation, control systems, and R&D-driven solutions essential to modernizing defense platforms and supporting advanced munitions and surveillance technologies.
