Dave L. Price

Dave L. Price serves as a Contracting Officer for Washington Headquarters Services, a critical support agency within the Department of Defense responsible for enterprise-wide administrative and operational services. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurements for mission-enabling technology and professional services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DoD strategic priorities. His portfolio centers on modernizing institutional systems, enhancing digital infrastructure, and delivering technical consulting services that support defense enterprise efficiency. Price routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, emphasizing performance-based contracting and risk-managed vendor selection to meet WHS’s mission-critical objectives. He maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc., reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated expertise in IT modernization, facilities management, and enterprise consulting. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat vendors with strong past performance records, fostering stability and accountability across long-term service delivery contracts. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Price consistently allocates approximately 20% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without favoring specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone. His approach prioritizes capability and capacity over socioeconomic designation, aligning with WHS’s enterprise-wide procurement efficiency goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 for computer hardware and software wholesale distribution, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 541513 (computer facilities management) and 541519 (other computer-related services). This reflects deep expertise in procuring IT infrastructure, managed services, and technical support solutions that underpin DoD’s digital transformation initiatives.
