Robert D. Wenner

Robert D. Wenner serves as a key procurement lead within the W7NX Uspfo Activity Pa Arng, supporting the Pennsylvania Army National Guard’s infrastructure and operational sustainment mission. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, logistics, and mission-critical support contracts under the Department of the Army’s W912KC code, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with force readiness objectives. His acquisitions primarily focus on facility construction, maintenance systems, and specialized equipment support, requiring precise adherence to military engineering standards and environmental compliance protocols. Wenner’s role is central to translating operational needs into executable contract actions that enhance base resilience and force projection capabilities. His primary contractor relationship is with SUMMIT FIRE & SECURITY LLC, a trusted vendor delivering integrated fire protection, security systems, and life safety solutions tailored to military installations. Wenner consistently engages this contractor for complex, code-compliant installations requiring technical coordination across multiple disciplines. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions under stringent DoD oversight, emphasizing reliability, rapid response, and compliance with NFPA and UFC standards. Wenner demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 75% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower small, locally based firms with the capacity to deliver construction, manufacturing, and logistics services aligned with National Guard requirements. His contracting patterns prioritize socioeconomic inclusion, consistently leveraging set-asides to foster regional economic development while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), reflecting his role in sustaining transportation infrastructure critical to unit mobility. He also regularly procures perishable prepared food manufacturing services (NAICS 311991) and custom signage (NAICS 339950), indicating a broad operational support scope that includes garrison sustainment and facility identification systems. Wenner’s expertise spans civil works, logistics support, and facility modernization, combining technical knowledge of military construction standards with strategic small business engagement.
