Lorissa Wetzler

Lorissa Wetzler serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N0 Uspfo Activity Sd Arng under the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in executing procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness and quality-of-life needs of Army National Guard personnel. She manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions, primarily focused on management consulting, marketing support, and specialized textile manufacturing, ensuring alignment with mission-critical requirements for training, recruitment, and administrative infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain consistent food, lodging, and medical support for reserve component forces through timely, compliant contract awards. Wetzler maintains established relationships with key contractors including COMPASS MEDICAL PROVIDER LLC and MARKELTY, LLC, reflecting a pattern of sustained engagement with vendors capable of delivering specialized medical and operational support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability and performance history, often re-engaging proven contractors for recurring requirements while maintaining competitive dynamics to ensure value and accountability. These partnerships are typically structured under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or requirements-based contracts to support long-term, mission-critical needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Wetzler consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with half of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional quarter allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small disadvantaged firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to both competition and socioeconomic goals, aligning with Department of Defense mandates for inclusive procurement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541613 (Marketing Consulting Services), indicating deep expertise in securing strategic advisory and communications support for reserve component operations. She also procures specialized textile products under NAICS 314910, demonstrating technical familiarity with tactical gear and uniform-related supply chains. Wetzler’s domain expertise bridges administrative efficiency with operational readiness, ensuring contracts deliver both compliance and mission impact.
