David DeAnda

David DeAnda serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the U.S. Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. He oversees the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for critical ordnance, fabricated metal products, and maintenance services essential to weapons system readiness and ammunition production. His portfolio emphasizes technical procurement of mission-critical hardware and specialized manufacturing services, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities and lifecycle support requirements for fielded equipment. DeAnda maintains strategic relationships with core contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing specialized capabilities in precision machining, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing niche expertise in high-tolerance metal components and battlefield system sustainment. He frequently engages with manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid turnaround requirements for field-deployed systems. A strong advocate for small business participation, DeAnda consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 70% of his awards reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diversified supplier base capable of meeting Army industrial demands while promoting economic opportunity. His contracting approach aligns with DoD socioeconomic goals, fostering partnerships with small manufacturers that bring agility and innovation to critical defense supply chains. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 332722 (fastener manufacturing), 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), and 339991 (gasket and sealing device manufacturing), with additional emphasis on welding equipment and specialized motor vehicle parts. He specializes in procuring precision-engineered components for ordnance systems, battlefield maintenance kits, and mission-critical assemblies requiring strict compliance with military standards and material traceability.
