Darryl Small

Darryl Small serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where he is responsible for managing complex procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness of U.S. Navy maritime platforms. His portfolio centers on specialized engineering, logistics, and maintenance services critical to fleet sustainment, including the acquisition of mission-critical electrical components and technical support systems. As a key procurement lead within the Department of the Navy, Small ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with strategic naval infrastructure priorities, particularly in advanced systems integration and platform maintenance. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of industry partners, including OBSIDIAN GLOBAL, LLC, DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP, ADVANIA ISLAND EHF., COMPLETE PARACHUTE SOLUTIONS, INC., and Computational Physics Inc. These vendors provide high-value technical services spanning systems engineering, logistics optimization, and specialized manufacturing. Small’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering accountability and technical fidelity in the delivery of mission-essential capabilities. Mr. Small’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the Navy’s need for specialized, non-commoditized solutions that require proven expertise rather than preferential contracting mechanisms. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 335999—All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing—indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of custom electrical systems, avionics components, and mission-specific hardware essential to naval platform sustainment. His technical domain expertise lies in procuring highly engineered, low-volume, high-reliability components that support naval communications, power distribution, and electronic warfare systems, requiring rigorous quality assurance and supply chain integrity.
