Wayne Fountain cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of technology vendors specializing in enterprise-grade audio and video equipment, networked conferencing systems, and mission-specific software integration services.

Mr. Fountain’s contracting approach reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under no set-aside provisions.
