Dale Winger

Maj Eric DaleWinger serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition and sustainment of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. His portfolio centers on the procurement of advanced wireless communications equipment, satellite command and control infrastructure, and guided missile system support components. As a key liaison between technical stakeholders and industry partners, Maj DaleWinger ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through full and open competition, adhering to federal acquisition regulations and Air Force-specific sustainment directives. He routinely oversees complex contracts involving systems integration, lifecycle support, and technical refreshes for legacy and next-generation platforms. Maj DaleWinger maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of defense contractors specializing in radio frequency systems, satellite communications hardware, and secure data transmission technologies. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with Tier 1 aerospace primes and niche suppliers possessing specialized expertise in military-grade wireless equipment manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure operational readiness and interoperability across joint force networks. Maj DaleWinger’s procurement activity is entirely focused on full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the highly technical nature of the systems he acquires, which often require specialized engineering capabilities not widely available among small business concerns. His approach prioritizes mission necessity and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Air Force’s strategic imperative to maintain technological superiority in contested domains. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—where he sources hardened RF transceivers, secure satellite terminals, GPS-denied navigation modules, and command-and-control interfaces. His technical expertise lies in the integration of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies into military-grade systems, ensuring resilience, cybersecurity compliance, and electromagnetic compatibility in high-threat environments.
