David A. Long

David A. Long serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7NX Uspfo Activity Paang 111 under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for construction, maintenance, and logistics support contracts, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals. His portfolio primarily encompasses commercial and institutional building construction, as well as asphalt paving mixture manufacturing, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain mission-ready facilities and durable operational systems. Long ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely, cost-effective delivery of essential infrastructure services. Long maintains a consistent working relationship with GOVAGED INC., a primary contractor engaged across multiple contract vehicles for construction and materials supply. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency in military-grade construction standards and timely delivery under austere conditions. He actively engages with contractors to streamline compliance, manage performance metrics, and resolve technical scope adjustments during contract execution. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with half of his acquisitions set aside exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half conducted as full and open competitions. This deliberate structure supports broad small business participation without compromising competition or mission needs. While no specific set-aside program dominates, his consistent use of the Total Small Business Set-Aside demonstrates a strong institutional preference for empowering small, capable vendors. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing), reflecting deep familiarity with military installation upgrades, site development, and durable surface infrastructure. He procures turnkey construction services, pavement systems, and related materials engineered for high-traffic, high-stress environments, ensuring compliance with Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Defense specifications.
