David Stark

David J. Stark serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across a diverse range of technical and service-based requirements. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), fostering competitive bidding, and delivering mission-critical goods and services through transparent, lawful processes. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in electrical equipment manufacturing, specialized maintenance services, and operational support contracts, often involving technical specifications requiring rigorous evaluation and source selection under FAR Part 15. While specific contractor names are not available, Stark’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a broad base of vendors, including both large primes and small business subcontractors. He fosters collaborative relationships with suppliers capable of meeting stringent technical and regulatory standards, particularly in niche manufacturing and service sectors. His approach emphasizes fair competition, performance-based outcomes, and adherence to sound contract administration practices, ensuring accountability and value across the acquisition lifecycle. Stark demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 89.3% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he maintains a deliberate and meaningful commitment to small business participation, allocating 10.7% of his acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes market-wide competition while actively enabling small businesses to compete for federal opportunities without relying on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment Manufacturing), indicating expertise in sourcing custom or specialized electrical components. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 811219 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance) and NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors), showcasing a multidisciplinary operational scope. Additional activity in NAICS 336413 and 923110 further underscores his technical proficiency in aviation support systems and education program administration, positioning him as a versatile contracting professional with deep domain knowledge across industrial and institutional sectors.
