David A. Fernandez

David A. Fernandez serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0906 Aq Co Contracting Bat under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex construction and infrastructure acquisitions critical to sustaining U.S. military readiness overseas. He executes full lifecycle contracting for facility construction, utility system upgrades, and modular infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while aligning procurements with strategic force posture objectives in high-priority theaters. His work directly supports the modernization of aging barracks, command facilities, and critical civil engineering assets essential to operational continuity. Fernandez maintains a primary contracting relationship with PYUNGTAEK ENVIRONMENT CO., LTD, a key vendor delivering specialized construction and environmental services for overseas installations. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven performance in austere environments, with the majority of awards issued through competitive sealed bidding under open market conditions. While he engages a limited number of other vendors, his approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and rapid mobilization over broad vendor diversification. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly focused on open competition, with 91.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation is modest but intentional, with 5.9% of awards allocated under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and 2.9% under Local Area Set-Asides (FAR 26.2), reflecting a pragmatic balance between mission urgency and statutory small business obligations. Fernandez’s technical expertise centers on heavy civil engineering construction, with primary NAICS focus on 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). He routinely procures services related to infrastructure resilience, modular housing systems, utility reconfiguration, and specialty trade work, demonstrating deep familiarity with military construction standards and expeditionary engineering requirements.
