Dana Funk

Dana Funk serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions related to small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, conducts market research, develops solicitation documents, and evaluates technical and cost proposals to support mission-critical defense capabilities. Her work is integral to the agency’s mission of securing reliable, high-performance weaponry systems while maintaining rigorous accountability and transparency throughout the acquisition process. She typically handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical specification alignment and supply chain integrity. Dana Funk works with a focused network of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in defense-grade ordnance systems, including firms capable of meeting stringent military standards such as MIL-STD and NATO specifications. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with qualified industrial base vendors possessing the necessary certifications, quality control systems, and production capacity for defense applications. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable vendors with proven track records in military-grade manufacturing, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Dana Funk’s procurement activity is entirely aligned with open competition, with no set-asides applied to her acquisitions. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity from the broader defense manufacturing base rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all eligible vendors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with defense-specific requirements. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 332994, encompassing the design, development, and production of small arms, ammunition, explosives, and associated ordnance accessories. She possesses deep expertise in procuring precision-engineered firearms systems, ballistic components, and specialized munitions, requiring familiarity with defense technical data packages, export controls, and defense logistics frameworks. Her domain knowledge ensures acquisitions meet operational readiness standards across military and law enforcement end-users.
