Wendell Brown

Wendell Brown Jr. serves as a Contracting Officer, acting in a secondary role to support the agency's procurement mission. In this capacity, he is responsible for the administration and execution of acquisitions, ensuring that the procurement process adheres to federal regulations and meets the operational requirements of the organization. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns show a primary reliance on full and open competitions, with no set-aside designations accounting for the majority of activity.

Additionally, the office utilizes set-asides for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The technical focus of these procurements is heavily weighted toward advanced electronics and communications. Primary areas of expertise include the manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments, as well as radio, television, and wireless communications equipment. The procurement scope also extends to software publishing and the manufacturing of specialized rubber products and other communications equipment.
