Mark G. Wheeler

Mark G. Wheeler serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize expeditionary airfield infrastructure and mission-enabling systems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness at remote and forward-deployed locations through timely procurement of industrial maintenance, construction, and logistical support services. He routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 36 and Part 37, focusing on facility integrity, preventive maintenance of heavy equipment, and rapid-response infrastructure projects critical to aerospace operations. Wheeler maintains a consistent working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized support services, though his portfolio also engages a diverse pool of small business vendors. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of rapid mobilization and technical adaptability in austere environments. He prioritizes vendors with proven experience in expeditionary logistics and industrial maintenance, fostering long-term supplier collaboration to meet dynamic operational demands. His procurement strategy is heavily skewed toward small business participation, with over 65% of awards set aside for general small businesses under FAR 19.5, alongside targeted allocations for HUBZone and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals and workforce development within underserved communities, aligning with Department of Defense mandates for inclusive supplier engagement. Wheeler’s primary NAICS focus areas include 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 238330 (Flooring Contractors), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), indicating deep expertise in facility sustainment and equipment maintenance. He frequently procures services related to airfield pavement restoration, industrial HVAC systems, and logistics support for transient operations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in expeditionary infrastructure lifecycle management and mission-critical facility resilience.
