David Deanda

David Deanda serves as a Contract Specialist at the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems. He is responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that ensure the readiness, modernization, and sustainment of armored vehicles, tactical wheeled platforms, and associated ordnance systems. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency through integrated engineering and logistics solutions. Deanda typically handles complex, technical procurements involving specialized military-grade components, often requiring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and stringent performance-based specifications. Deanda maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of defense-industrial contractors, including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships center on the procurement of armored vehicle components, electronic systems, avionics integration, and precision-machined parts critical to tactical platform performance. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical alignment, and performance accountability, fostering reliable supply chains for mission-critical hardware. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as no set-aside procurements (82.3%), Deanda demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with nearly 18% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He actively engages qualified small businesses capable of meeting the rigorous standards of military vehicle sustainment, ensuring broad industrial base resilience without compromising technical integrity. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories including 336992 (military armored vehicle and tank component manufacturing), 336320 (motor vehicle electrical and electronic equipment), and 332216 (saw blade and handtool manufacturing). These reflect his technical expertise in procuring specialized mechanical, electrical, and structural components essential to the design, repair, and upgrade of Army ground combat systems.
