David Clark

David Clark supports the FA2823 AFTC PZIO in executing mission-critical procurement activities for advanced aerospace test and evaluation systems under the Department of the Air Force. He manages acquisitions for high-precision sensing, communication, and instrumentation infrastructure essential to avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. His portfolio centers on physical and electrical infrastructure upgrades that enable modernized test ranges and electromagnetic compatibility validation environments, ensuring operational readiness for next-generation air systems. Clark’s contracting approach emphasizes technical specificity, compliance with defense acquisition regulations, and alignment with AFTC’s strategic modernization goals. He maintains consistent relationships with a focused group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized vendors with demonstrated expertise in military-grade electrical installations, ruggedized instrumentation enclosures, and field-deployable test systems. Clark fosters long-term vendor collaboration, prioritizing contractors with proven experience in secure, high-reliability environments and compliance with DoD technical standards for test range modernization. Clark demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage the agility and niche capabilities of small firms in delivering tailored solutions for complex test infrastructure. His contracting approach actively supports socioeconomic programs by channeling opportunities to small businesses capable of meeting stringent aerospace and defense specifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 for electrical and wiring installation systems and NAICS 236220 for commercial and institutional building construction supporting test facilities. He regularly acquires custom control panels, signal conditioning hardware, shielded cabling, and embedded instrumentation systems. His technical domain expertise centers on electromagnetic compatibility, ground-based sensor integration, and infrastructure that supports live-fire and electronic warfare testing environments.
