Michael E. Wagner

Michael E. Wagner serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions within a federal acquisition environment. He specializes in technical acquisitions related to aerospace systems, industrial equipment, and precision instrumentation, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific regulatory frameworks. His work supports mission-critical capabilities by securing high-integrity components for defense and aviation applications, often coordinating with engineering and requirements teams to align contract terms with technical specifications and delivery timelines. Wagner’s portfolio emphasizes competitively awarded contracts under full and open competition, with a strategic focus on achieving timely, cost-effective outcomes while maintaining rigorous oversight. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable in current data, Wagner consistently engages with a diverse pool of manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting stringent aerospace and industrial standards. His procurement patterns suggest collaboration with mid-to-large-tier prime contractors and specialized subcontractors experienced in precision machining, avionics integration, and thermal-fluid systems. He maintains a results-driven approach to vendor performance management, prioritizing quality assurance, timely delivery, and technical compliance across contract execution. Wagner demonstrates a strong preference for full and open competition, with 83.7% of his acquisitions not set aside, reflecting a focus on maximizing market competition. However, he actively supports small business participation, with 16.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This indicates a deliberate, though not predominant, commitment to leveraging small business capabilities without compromising mission requirements or technical rigor. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in aerospace component procurement. He also regularly acquires industrial fans, turbine generator units, and fluid metering devices, demonstrating proficiency in mechanical systems and instrumentation. Wagner’s domain knowledge spans propulsion systems, air management technologies, and precision measurement equipment, positioning him as a technical procurement specialist within the defense and industrial manufacturing sectors.
