William H Wedler

William H. Wedler serves as a Contracting Officer for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Atlantic (NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic), responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized infrastructure systems critical to naval base sustainment and modernization. He executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS, with a focus on design-build, construction, and technical services supporting expeditionary facilities, munitions storage, and energy-resilient infrastructure. His portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical procurements that ensure operational readiness across Atlantic-region and overseas naval installations, requiring rigorous technical evaluation and compliance with DoD facility standards. Wedler maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MEB General Contractors Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, Stantec-AECOM SIOP JV, M&N-BMCD LANT SIOP JV, and Cape-Aptim JV1, LLC. These partnerships are typically structured as integrated design-build or construction management-at-risk arrangements, reflecting a preference for collaborative, performance-based delivery methods. His contracting approach emphasizes contractor technical competency, past performance in military facility projects, and proven ability to meet stringent naval safety and environmental compliance requirements. A defining feature of Wedler’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring all eligible acquisitions are reserved for small businesses. This consistent commitment reflects a strategic alignment with DoD socioeconomic goals and prioritizes the growth of qualified small contractors capable of delivering high-precision facility systems. He actively cultivates a pipeline of small business vendors with demonstrated expertise in defense-related infrastructure. His technical focus is narrowly concentrated on NAICS 333923, which encompasses the manufacturing and integration of overhead traveling cranes, hoists, and monorail systems—critical components for shipyard maintenance, munitions handling, and logistics operations. Wedler’s expertise lies in procuring engineered material handling systems that meet Navy-specific safety, load, and corrosion-resistance standards, ensuring seamless integration into naval infrastructure.
