David Griffin

David Griffin serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the W2SD Endist New York office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical civil and military infrastructure across the Northeast. Though not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administrative execution of heavy civil engineering acquisitions, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal construction regulations. His responsibilities include coordinating technical requirements, managing contract documentation, and liaising with project engineers to align procurement strategy with infrastructure resilience goals, particularly in transportation, utilities, and environmental systems. Griffin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, STV HDR USMA JOINT VENTURE, LODUCA ASSOCIATES, INC., and H & L CONTRACTING LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in large-scale civil engineering projects, often involving complex site remediation, flood control structures, and navigation channel maintenance. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, past performance, and compliance with federal construction codes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are competed full and open, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified firms capable of delivering mission-critical infrastructure, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories. Small business participation is not structurally mandated, though it may occur organically through open competition. The agency’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 237990—Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction—encompassing projects such as dam reinforcement, levee construction, bulkhead installation, and utility relocation. Griffin’s expertise lies in managing complex, federally funded engineering contracts requiring adherence to Army Technical Manuals, environmental compliance protocols, and federal construction safety standards.
