David C. Long

David C. Long serves as a key procurement lead within the IT Contracting Division – PL84 of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where he oversees the acquisition of enterprise-scale information technology services critical to modernizing DoD mission-critical infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing complex, high-impact contracts focused on cloud-based computing environments, legacy system modernization, and secure enterprise IT platforms. He specializes in end-to-end procurement cycles for non-personal services that support scalable, resilient, and compliant IT architectures aligned with DoD cloud strategies and Zero Trust security frameworks. His portfolio consistently targets mission-enabling solutions that replace outdated mainframe and on-premises systems with agile, cloud-native alternatives. Long maintains a strategic procurement relationship with two primary contractors: International Business Machines Corporation and Iron Bow Technologies, LLC. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on established enterprise IT providers with proven capabilities in hybrid cloud deployment, cybersecurity integration, and large-scale systems modernization. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations that prioritize technical excellence, interoperability, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as RMF and CMMC. Long’s acquisition portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing the most qualified vendors capable of delivering mission-critical IT services at scale. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive bidding requirements. His procurement activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing cloud migration, systems integration, managed IT services, and legacy infrastructure decommissioning. He specializes in procuring services that enable secure, scalable, and automated IT operations across defense networks, with deep technical expertise in enterprise cloud platforms, data center modernization, and mission-critical application hosting.
