Dana D. Graham

Dana D. Graham serves as a Contracting Officer with the W6QK Acc-orlando under the Department of the Army, where she manages complex acquisitions supporting advanced military training systems, defense technology integration, and operational readiness initiatives. Her portfolio centers on engineering, research, and technical services critical to modernizing live-fire simulations, mission command systems, and aviation/artillery training infrastructure. Graham ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in defense innovation and workforce readiness. She routinely handles sole-source, competitive, and performance-based contracts for high-technology solutions requiring specialized domain expertise. Graham maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in defense simulation, systems integration, and technical advisory services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term vendor reliability, often resulting in repeat engagements with firms that demonstrate consistent delivery of mission-critical capabilities under tight timelines and stringent security protocols. Her set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic criteria. However, she maintains a consistent 9.1% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but deliberate engagement with small businesses that meet stringent technical requirements for defense applications. Graham’s procurement activity is primarily concentrated in NAICS 721110 (Hotels and Motels), reflecting logistical and transient lodging support for military training personnel; NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), indicating coordination of aviation training infrastructure; and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), underscoring her involvement in simulation software and digital training platforms. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of defense logistics, aviation support systems, and immersive training technologies.
