David J. Shriner

David J. Shriner serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg under the Department of the Army’s W91CRB organization, where he plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced technological systems critical to the Army’s intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance modernization efforts. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions spanning custom software development, systems engineering, and analytical platform integration, with a focus on aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency systems, and battlefield data analytics. His procurement activities directly support the fielding of next-generation tactical communications and sensor networks, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contract execution. Shriner engages with a diverse pool of defense contractors and technology providers specializing in mission-critical R&D and systems integration. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms possessing deep expertise in military-grade software development, RF platform design, and real-time data processing. He fosters long-term partnerships with vendors capable of rapid prototyping, secure DevOps environments, and ruggedized hardware integration, emphasizing technical agility and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards such as CMMC and NIST SP 800-171. Shriner’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission-critical performance over socioeconomically targeted set-asides. While small business participation is not formally mandated in his portfolio, he remains open to qualified small businesses that demonstrate proven expertise in high-complexity defense technologies. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), alongside significant activity in R&D under 541712 and 541715. He also procures specialized instrumentation under 339113, indicating a unique blend of software, systems engineering, and physical sensor manufacturing needs. Shriner’s expertise centers on integrating software-defined radios, signal processing algorithms, and battlefield analytics platforms to enable real-time decision superiority across contested environments.
