David D. DeAnda

David D. DeAnda serves as a Contracting Officer for the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where he plays a pivotal role in securing the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives critical to U.S. Army operational readiness. Responsible for end-to-end acquisition planning, solicitation, award, and contract administration, DeAnda ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific requirements for munitions systems. His portfolio encompasses high-stakes procurements for ordnance production, storage infrastructure, logistics support, and demilitarization services, directly supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain combat-effective ammunition supplies for land, air, and naval forces. DeAnda’s work is instrumental in modernizing warfighting capabilities while maintaining strict safety and regulatory standards across the munitions supply chain. DeAnda maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of defense industrial base vendors, including prime contractors specializing in explosives manufacturing, ammunition assembly, and hazardous material handling. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with established defense suppliers possessing expertise in military-specification production, quality assurance, and secure logistics. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, risk mitigation, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent military standards and rapid response requirements. DeAnda’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the Joint Munitions Command’s mission-critical need for maximum vendor competition, technical capability, and scalability in munitions production. While socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB are not currently leveraged in his portfolio, his procurement decisions prioritize mission assurance and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to ammunition manufacturing, explosives production, and defense logistics services. DeAnda specializes in acquiring complex munitions systems, including small arms cartridges, artillery projectiles, propellants, and associated packaging and handling equipment. His technical expertise spans ordnance engineering, hazardous material compliance, and defense supply chain security, positioning him as a key steward of the nation’s conventional weapons readiness.
