David Hancock

David Hancock serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8106 Aflcmc Wlk, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing trainer and support aircraft fleets. He manages the acquisition of integrated logistics and maintenance services essential to the operational readiness of platforms including the T-6A/B/D Texan II, T-1A, and C-12 aircraft. His portfolio centers on contractor-operated and maintained base supply (COMBS) services, life support system components, and avionics modernization initiatives, ensuring mission-critical aircraft remain mission-ready through performance-based contracting and lifecycle support solutions. Hancock collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense logistics contractors specializing in aviation maintenance, supply chain management, and technical services. He fosters long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering just-in-time parts provisioning, depot-level repair, and field support under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract vehicles. His working relationships emphasize performance metrics, reliability, and rapid response capabilities, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in Air Force-specific maintenance environments and aviation logistics systems. Hancock maintains a strict 100% Small Business Set-Aside preference under FAR 19.5, consistently directing acquisitions to small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to socioeconomic equity, enabling niche providers with specialized aviation support capabilities to compete and thrive within the defense supply chain. His contracting patterns prioritize small business participation as a strategic enabler of innovation and resilience. His primary focus is on NAICS 488190—Other Support Activities for Air Transportation—covering everything from aircraft maintenance, ground support equipment servicing, and avionics component repair to logistics coordination and technical data management. He specializes in procuring services that sustain legacy and modernized trainer aircraft systems, requiring deep expertise in military aviation logistics, FAA and MIL-STD compliance, and integrated supply chain operations.
