David J Yakaboski

David J. Yakaboski serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. He specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for a diverse range of goods and services, with a strong emphasis on small business participation. His role is critical to fulfilling the agency’s mission by securing mission-critical support services and technical solutions through competitive, fair, and legally sound contracting processes. Yakaboski typically handles complex, non-commercial acquisitions requiring detailed technical evaluations and performance-based contract structures. While specific contractor names are not available, Yakaboski maintains consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His working relationships emphasize collaboration with small businesses, including those holding 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB certifications, fostering a vendor ecosystem that prioritizes innovation, responsiveness, and regulatory compliance. He is known for structuring contracts that encourage subcontracting opportunities and promote supplier diversity across the acquisition lifecycle. Yakaboski demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business set-asides, with 75% of his acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses and align with national goals for equitable federal contracting. His pattern of awarding nearly three-quarters of contracts exclusively to small businesses underscores a sustained focus on socioeconomic objectives, while the remaining 25% are awarded as open competitions when small business participation is not feasible. His procurement focus centers on four primary NAICS categories: Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811310), Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111), Commercial Photography (541922), and Truck, Utility Trailer, and RV Rental and Leasing (532120). These domains reflect expertise in procuring technical equipment maintenance, electronics manufacturing services, visual documentation solutions, and specialized transportation logistics support, demonstrating a unique blend of industrial, technological, and service-based contracting experience.
