Eric J. Wagner

Eric J. Wagner serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-pica, a critical acquisition unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness through defense manufacturing, facility services, and operational logistics. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts supporting ammunition production modernization, installation infrastructure maintenance, and force projection enablers. His acquisitions span high-technology systems and mission-critical support services, ensuring the Army’s combat systems remain operational and resilient. Wagner’s work directly aligns with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing munitions supply chains and maintaining base-wide operational continuity. He maintains established relationships with major defense contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION and GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS, alongside specialized firms such as PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large-scale industrial base providers and niche technical vendors capable of delivering specialized engineering and systems integration. Wagner consistently engages with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in defense manufacturing and mission-critical infrastructure, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in performance reliability and compliance with DoD acquisition standards. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 8.3% allocated through 8(a) competed contracts. While half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting. Wagner’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 335921 (fiber optic cable manufacturing), 541512 (computer systems design services), and 517112 (wireless telecommunications carriers), reflecting a technical emphasis on secure communications, data infrastructure, and mission-critical networking. He also procures specialized services in 562991 (septic tank and related services) and 485510 (charter bus industry), indicating a broad operational support scope that extends beyond traditional defense systems to sustainment of remote and expeditionary installations.
