Wolfgang Hochholzer

Wolfgang Hochholzer serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Army’s 0409 AQ HQ Contract office, responsible for managing complex facility sustainment and infrastructure support acquisitions critical to U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His portfolio centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of maintenance, repair, and specialized construction services for airfields, utilities, and mission-critical buildings—particularly in European theaters. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions, including competitive solicitations, contract modifications, and performance evaluations, adhering to FAR and Army-specific regulatory frameworks to deliver resilient, mission-aligned infrastructure solutions. Hochholzer maintains established relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., leveraging their technical capabilities in facility operations, industrial equipment servicing, and utility system support. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and compliance with military standards, often resulting in task order-based indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) arrangements. He prioritizes contractors with proven experience in deployed environments and deep expertise in maintaining legacy and modernized military infrastructure systems. Hochholzer’s procurement activity reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, his acquisitions remain compliant with all applicable small business goals and reporting requirements, aligning with Department of Defense-wide procurement transparency mandates. His primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and industrial machinery repair (811310), fossil fuel electric power generation (221112), and automotive maintenance services (811198), reflecting a technical specialization in sustaining energy systems, heavy equipment, and vehicle fleets essential to garrison operations. He routinely procures services involving turbine maintenance, HVAC overhauls, and mission-critical facility retrofits, demonstrating domain expertise in military infrastructure lifecycle management.
