Ryan Wagner

Ryan Wagner serves as a key procurement lead within the FA7146 Saf Oc Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the modernization of command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) architectures critical to air and space domain superiority. He manages technical acquisitions focused on mission-critical analytics, cyber-enabled operations, and advanced data infrastructure, ensuring that defense information systems enable real-time decision-making and cross-domain interoperability. His responsibilities include sourcing technical consulting services, systems design expertise, and secure data platform development to sustain operational readiness across dynamic threat environments. Wagner collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense contractors specializing in enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity, and mission analytics. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in cloud-native architectures, secure data pipelines, and AI-driven intelligence processing. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term service agreements and agile acquisition pathways to rapidly integrate emerging technologies into operational environments. Wagner’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the highest-caliber talent and solutions required for classified and high-consequence defense systems. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, vendors of all sizes must meet stringent security, scalability, and interoperability standards. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing systems integration, technical consulting, and advanced software development for defense applications. He routinely procures services related to secure data architecture, real-time analytics platforms, cyber resilience frameworks, and C3I modernization—demanding deep domain expertise in DoD information systems, zero-trust architectures, and joint all-domain operations.
