Gage S. Wright serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, where he supports the modernization of mission-critical infrastructure and the integration of advanced electronic systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of acquisitions for facility upgrades, fire safety systems, and secure communication technologies, ensuring compliance with defense standards and resilience requirements. Wright’s portfolio is strategically aligned with sustaining and enhancing the physical and technological foundations of Air Force installations, with a focus on high-integrity, mission-essential procurements that directly support national defense objectives. Wright maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration on complex infrastructure and electronic systems integration projects, often involving specialized engineering, cybersecurity, and facility modernization services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering trust through transparent, compliant, and results-driven procurement practices. Wright’s acquisition strategy is uniformly aligned with a 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic diversity and small business empowerment. All procurements are structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, with no open competition to large primes, ensuring equitable access for firms certified under various small business programs, including 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB. This approach reinforces the Department of the Air Force’s mandate to cultivate a robust, agile small business industrial base. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), where he procures specialized computing hardware, embedded systems, and secure data infrastructure critical to defense operations. A secondary but notable focus on NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations) reflects unique mission support requirements, likely tied to chaplaincy or morale, welfare, and recreation infrastructure. Wright’s expertise spans both high-tech electronics and mission-support facilities, blending engineering rigor with strategic contracting discipline.
