Wayne M. Shavers serves as a Staff NCO with the FA4407 375th Contracting Logistics unit under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a critical role in executing facility-related acquisition strategies that sustain mission-critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. His responsibilities include supporting the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for building operations, environmental compliance, and security systems, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness objectives. Shavers specializes in non-construction services that maintain operational environments, including facilities support, training, and specialized logistics services, often coordinating with technical and administrative staff to align procurement actions with mission priorities. Shavers maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, who provide specialized services ranging from facility operations to equipment procurement and logistics support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in government environments, fostering reliable, repeat partnerships that ensure continuity in mission-critical support functions. These relationships are typically cultivated through competitive, performance-based solicitations that emphasize quality, timeliness, and regulatory compliance. A strong advocate for small business participation, Shavers consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 78.6% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and innovation of small vendors. His procurement approach aligns with Department of the Air Force socioeconomic goals, ensuring broad access for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms without compromising operational requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing), 713120 (Amusement Arcades), and 813110 (Religious Organizations), indicating a diverse portfolio that supports both functional infrastructure and quality-of-life services on base.
