Dania Malveo

Dania Malveo serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions to support the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and aircraft integration technologies. She ensures compliance with Department of the Navy procurement policies while aligning acquisitions with strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. Malveo routinely handles classified and unclassified contracts involving technical engineering services, systems integration, and defense-related manufacturing. She maintains strong working relationships with key industry partners including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large prime contractors providing integrated systems and specialized small businesses delivering niche technical capabilities. Malveo’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and risk-managed acquisition strategies to ensure technical fidelity and mission assurance across high-stakes aviation platforms. While the majority of her acquisitions are competed without set-asides, she consistently incorporates 8(a) small businesses into the contracting stream, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity and small business participation. Her pattern reflects a balanced strategy: leveraging large primes for scale and integration while embedding 8(a) firms in niche technical roles to foster innovation and workforce development. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), reflecting her involvement in ordnance systems and munitions integration, alongside significant activity in NAICS 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services) and NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services). This underscores her expertise in procuring both hardware-intensive defense systems and the supporting IT infrastructure and program management services required to sustain next-generation naval air capabilities.
