Garrett Wagner

Garrett Wagner supports the procurement mission of the FA4855 27 Socons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, managing a diverse portfolio of acquisition actions critical to sustaining air base infrastructure and operational readiness. Though his formal title is not listed, his role centers on executing contracts for facility systems, communications equipment, and mission-support services that ensure the resilience and functionality of Air Force installations. He routinely handles complex procurements spanning construction, technical training, and specialized equipment, aligning acquisitions with strategic modernization goals for HVAC, wastewater treatment, and secure communications networks. Wagner maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a key vendor providing specialized technical and logistics support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in mission-critical infrastructure and systems integration, often engaging firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions under tight operational timelines. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, performance-based contracting, and a focus on reliability and compliance with DoD standards. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 75% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity through socioeconomic contracting, consistently channeling opportunities to small, qualified vendors rather than open competitions. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, the high volume of small business set-asides underscores a systemic emphasis on broad-based small business engagement. Wagner’s NAICS focus reveals an unusual but strategic blend of categories, including professional and management development training (611430) and food product machinery manufacturing (333241), alongside office furniture and vehicle dealership codes. This suggests he manages non-traditional but mission-enabling acquisitions—such as training programs for base personnel, food service equipment for dining facilities, and vehicle-related logistics—demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the full spectrum of support services required to sustain air base operations.
