John Wagner

John F. Wagner serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in technology and communications sectors, aligning with federal contracting objectives to ensure mission-critical capabilities are delivered efficiently and in compliance with FAR regulations. His portfolio centers on information technology services, telecommunications equipment, and related systems integration, supporting operational needs across federal programs. He exercises full contracting authority for competitive solicitations, ensuring transparency, fairness, and adherence to statutory requirements while balancing innovation with fiscal responsibility. Wagner maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships, engaging both large-scale manufacturers and specialized small businesses in the telecommunications and software development space. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term relationships with contractors capable of delivering secure, scalable solutions in broadcast equipment, custom software, and wireless communications infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his engagement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise and robust compliance histories. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of all awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate focus on expanding economic opportunity within the small business community, particularly among firms certified under general small business programs. Though no specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are predominant, his consistent use of total small business set-asides signals a strategic emphasis on fostering broad-based small business engagement across the acquisition lifecycle. Wagner’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in digital content systems and wireless communications hardware. He also regularly procures custom computer programming services and telephone apparatus, underscoring a technical domain specialization in communications infrastructure and software-enabled solutions. His work supports mission-critical systems requiring high reliability, interoperability, and cybersecurity compliance.
