David Deanda

David D. DeAnda serves as a Contracting Officer with the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of conventional ammunition, explosives, and related logistics systems critical to U.S. Army operational readiness. In this role, he executes full-cycle contracting actions under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring compliance with defense-specific requirements for safety, security, and supply chain resilience. His portfolio includes procurements spanning manufacturing, maintenance, and specialized support services essential to sustaining combat-effective munitions capabilities across land, air, and naval domains. DeAnda maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of defense-industrial contractors, including manufacturers of metal containers, munitions components, and industrial maintenance providers. He engages with both large prime contractors and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent military specifications for explosive ordnance handling, storage, and demilitarization. His contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships aligned with the Joint Munitions Command’s mission-critical objectives. A strong advocate for small business participation, DeAnda consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 35% of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. While no specific socioeconomic categories dominate his awards, his pattern reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small manufacturers and service providers within the defense industrial base, supporting broader DoD goals for supplier diversity and resilience. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), indicating deep expertise in procuring specialized munitions packaging, maintenance of ordnance-handling equipment, and mission-critical industrial services. He regularly engages vendors with capabilities in fire protection systems and facility finishing contractors supporting secure munitions infrastructure, demonstrating technical fluency across the full spectrum of conventional weapons lifecycle support.
