David Cooper Dike

David Cooper Dike serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, overseeing mission-critical infrastructure modernization initiatives that support operational readiness across Air Force installations. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, systems integration, and facility sustainment contracts, with a focus on upgrading fire safety systems, electrical and HVAC infrastructure, and secure communication environments. His acquisitions directly enable the agency’s strategic imperatives to enhance resilience, modernize aging facilities, and ensure compliance with defense infrastructure standards. Dike’s work bridges technical engineering requirements with federal contracting regulations to deliver mission-enabling capabilities under tight operational timelines. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of delivering integrated facility solutions—from electrical and plumbing systems to nonhazardous waste management and specialized site development. Dike’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and regulatory adherence. A strong advocate for small business participation, Dike consistently structures approximately 60% of his acquisitions as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, prioritizing equitable access for small and emerging contractors. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses across multiple categories, ensuring broad vendor engagement while maintaining high standards of quality and delivery. This commitment aligns with Department of the Air Force mandates to strengthen the defense industrial base through inclusive procurement practices. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 (electrical contracting), 238220 (HVAC and plumbing), 811219 (other repair and maintenance), 721310 (dormitory and worker housing), and 562219 (nonhazardous waste disposal). These categories underscore his technical expertise in facility lifecycle management, environmental compliance, and infrastructure resilience, ensuring Air Force installations remain operationally secure and sustainably maintained.
