Michael Wedekind

Michael Wedekind serves as a Contract Administrator within the FA4690 28 Cons Pkc under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain critical Air Force installation infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for industrial maintenance, security systems, communications hardware, and facility support services, ensuring alignment with mission-critical readiness objectives. Wedekind specializes in non-personal services acquisitions governed by FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with a focus on performance-based contracting and task order administration to support environmental control, machinery repair, and technical operations across Air Force bases. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Ostrom Painting & Sandblasting, Inc. and Astronics Test Systems Inc., partnering primarily with specialized industrial service providers and niche technical vendors capable of delivering precision maintenance and testing solutions. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-driven evaluations, and collaborative contract administration to ensure compliance with technical specifications and delivery timelines. Wedekind exhibits a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring maximum participation from small, independently owned firms. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to empower small businesses as primary vendors, fostering a competitive, inclusive marketplace aligned with Department of the Air Force small business goals. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services), which encompasses a broad range of facility and infrastructure support services including custodial, grounds maintenance, preventive maintenance scheduling, and administrative logistics coordination. While the classification is broad, his actual acquisitions target highly specialized industrial support functions requiring technical proficiency in facility systems management, ensuring operational continuity across mission-critical Air Force installations.
