His portfolio encompasses maintenance, construction, and specialized equipment contracts that sustain airfield, hangar, and industrial facilities. Wolery manages full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. He plays a pivotal role in enabling base resilience by securing reliable contractors for high-priority, mission-enabling projects that directly support aviation and logistics operations. Wolery maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ARKOSE GROUP LLC, SILVER NATIONAL CORP., BLAZING AVIATION LLC, and MACH 2 PRODUCTIONS INC., each of which provides specialized capabilities in aviation support, industrial maintenance, and technical systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor partnerships, fostering accountability through rigorous oversight and quality assurance protocols. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in military installation environments and a demonstrated ability to deliver complex, time-sensitive solutions under stringent security and safety standards. Wolery demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 62.5% of his awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively prioritizes small business participation across multiple categories, ensuring equitable access to opportunities for small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base while maintaining operational excellence and mission continuity. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 237310, 238110, 238210, 334220, and 541330, corresponding to highway and bridge construction, concrete structure contracting, electrical installation, wireless communications equipment manufacturing, and engineering services. This technical specialization underscores his expertise in acquiring integrated facility systems, mission-critical infrastructure, and advanced communication hardware essential to sustaining Air Force base operations.
