Mary Wheeler supports the procurement mission of the FA4625 509 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, managing a diverse portfolio of facility, infrastructure, and mission-enabling acquisitions critical to Air Force operational readiness. She oversees the solicitation and award of contracts for engineering services, specialized technical support, and logistics infrastructure, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for base sustainability and resilience. Her work directly enables the maintenance, modernization, and environmental compliance of Air Force installations, with a focus on mission-critical construction, remediation, and technical systems integration. Wheeler maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site and facility development, K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC for logistics and mobility support, N2GRATE GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC for IT and systems integration, and AZTEK COMPUTERS, LLC for secure computing solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in defense-related environments, characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal construction and IT standards. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic objectives, with half of her acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission needs, aligning with DoD directives to broaden the defense industrial base while maintaining operational effectiveness. Wheeler’s technical focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and NAICS 333249 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in facility engineering, environmental systems, and specialized equipment procurement. She routinely acquires services related to civil engineering, utility modernization, hazardous material remediation, and mission-critical machinery, supporting the sustained functionality of Air Force installations through technically rigorous, compliant contracting practices.
