David J. Lione

David J. Lione serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for maintenance, logistics, and specialized support services essential to combat systems, mobility assets, and expeditionary infrastructure. Lione specializes in complex contracts requiring technical precision, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations while aligning procurements with strategic readiness goals in both garrison and deployed environments. Lione maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships span a range of technical domains, from specialized equipment maintenance to advanced electronics and training services. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance accountability, and long-term vendor collaboration, often resulting in repeat engagements with firms demonstrating proven capability in supporting naval operational requirements. While 57.1% of his acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, Lione demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities per FAR 19.5. His pattern reflects a balanced strategy—leveraging broad market competition while actively enabling small business growth through targeted opportunities that align with their technical capabilities and socioeconomic certifications. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), alongside niche areas in textile and carpet manufacturing for specialized military applications. This diverse technical portfolio underscores his expertise in acquiring both high-tech digital systems and mission-critical physical components, ensuring integrated readiness across complex naval operations.
