David J. Berger

David Berger supports the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in managing critical acquisitions for operational and forensic capabilities within the Acquisition and Property Management Division. Though his formal title is not specified, his procurement activities center on securing advanced technologies and specialized services essential to ATF’s law enforcement and public safety mission. He routinely handles contracts for forensic equipment, communications systems, and operational support services, ensuring field units are equipped with reliable, cutting-edge tools to support criminal investigations and evidence analysis. His work directly enables the modernization of ATF’s investigative infrastructure and enhances readiness for high-risk enforcement operations. Berger maintains established relationships with a select group of contractors, including WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION, JDHQ HOLDING LP, and APPLE TEN ALABAMA SERVICES, LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized service providers delivering legal research platforms, lodging and logistics support, and technical operations services. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for vendors with proven track records in secure, mission-critical environments, indicating a reliance on repeat contractors who understand ATF’s operational constraints and compliance requirements. His procurement portfolio exhibits a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 42.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses, particularly those capable of delivering niche technical or logistical support. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic alignment with federal goals for inclusive contracting. Berger’s primary NAICS focus includes Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (339113) and Other Computer Related Services (541519), suggesting procurement of forensic tools, digital evidence systems, and analytical software. Additional emphasis on Communications Equipment Manufacturing (334290) and Aircraft Manufacturing (336411) indicates engagement with surveillance, detection, and mobility technologies. His expertise spans technical domains requiring high reliability, regulatory compliance, and integration with federal law enforcement workflows.
