Wesley Whisner

Wesley M. Whisner serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex technical acquisitions that support the modernization of military training systems and defense technology integration. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—primarily focused on computer systems design services that enhance live-fire simulation, mission command capabilities, and aviation/artillery training infrastructure. Whisner ensures acquisitions align with Army modernization priorities, emphasizing innovation, interoperability, and operational readiness through rigorous compliance with federal procurement regulations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration on high-performance modeling and simulation systems, software-defined training environments, and integrated command and control platforms. Whisner’s procurement approach favors established industry partners with proven expertise in defense-specific engineering services, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on technical reliability and performance accountability. Whisner’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic focus on securing specialized technical capabilities from the most qualified providers, regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. His primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where he procures advanced software development, systems integration, and digital twin technologies tailored to military training domains. His expertise lies in acquiring enterprise-grade simulation architectures, real-time data analytics platforms, and secure networked training systems that enable next-generation readiness across Army aviation, artillery, and command units.
