Wolfgang Ringer

Wolfgang Ringer serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Army’s 0409 AQ HQ Contract office, responsible for managing complex acquisition actions that sustain military infrastructure across U.S. garrisons and overseas installations. His work directly supports operational readiness by procuring facility maintenance, specialized construction, and critical equipment services essential to airfield, utility, and logistics system functionality—particularly in European theaters. He handles a diverse portfolio of solicitations under FAR Part 15, including sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with a focus on ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Ringer maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of international and domestic vendors, including ING. LUDWIG FREITAG ELEKTRO-GMBH & CO. KG, APC AG, and BB GOVERNMENT SERVICES GMBH, reflecting a preference for specialized technical contractors with proven experience in military-grade infrastructure support. His contracting patterns indicate strong collaboration with European-based firms skilled in electrical systems, vehicle maintenance, and facility services tailored to Army garrison requirements. These partnerships are typically established through competitive, performance-based contracts that emphasize technical capability and local operational knowledge. His set-aside preferences show a predominant reliance on open competition, with 86.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation is modest but structured, with Total Small Business Set-Asides accounting for 8.1% and small, targeted allocations for Women-Owned and 8(a) firms at 2.7% each, indicating a balanced but non-prioritized approach to socioeconomic contracting in line with mission-critical needs. Ringer’s procurement focus centers on niche NAICS categories including 532120 (RV and utility trailer leasing), 561740 (carpet and upholstery cleaning), and 562219 (nonhazardous waste treatment), alongside specialized services in fire protection and facility support. These reflect the granular, day-to-day operational needs of deployed and garrisoned Army communities, demonstrating expertise in procuring low-volume, high-reliability services critical to quality-of-life and infrastructure resilience.
