David J. DiRoma

David DiRoma serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a critical role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. His responsibilities encompass the full spectrum of contracting activities—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—for engineering, research, and technical services essential to vehicle modernization and sustainment. He specializes in procurements aligned with the Army’s strategic priorities in survivability, mobility, and power efficiency, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific standards. DiRoma maintains established working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships primarily involve the provision of advanced engineering services, avionics integration, structural components, and specialized testing solutions for armored and tactical wheeled platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical rigor, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in mission-critical deliverables and quality assurance protocols. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions (85.7%), DiRoma consistently allocates a meaningful portion—14.3%—to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation in defense innovation. He does not typically utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to promote competitive engagement across the industrial base. His procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting his deep engagement with technical innovation in vehicle systems. He routinely sources analytical testing, prototype development, and systems integration services, underscoring his expertise in supporting advanced engineering and laboratory-based validation for next-generation military platforms.
