D. Decker

David K. Decker serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4861 99 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain airpower infrastructure and operational readiness. His work centers on securing advanced communications systems, specialized maintenance services, and facility construction essential to command-and-control, surveillance, and broadcasting capabilities. Decker handles a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and waste management contracts, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for resilience, security, and long-term sustainment of airbase infrastructure. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available, Decker’s contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, partnering with both large primes and small businesses across multiple technical domains. His procurement strategy emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes, fostering relationships with firms capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions under strict security and compliance frameworks. Decker maintains a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of all acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to full and open competition. This balanced structure supports broad market participation while ensuring robust competition and innovation. His office consistently leverages small business set-asides to empower diverse vendors, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, reinforcing DoD’s broader goals for inclusive economic growth in defense supply chains. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (highway and bridge construction), 336999 (transportation equipment manufacturing), and two waste management categories—562991 and 562998—reflecting a unique blend of civil infrastructure and environmental compliance needs. This indicates expertise in managing integrated facility sustainment projects that require coordination between construction, specialized equipment, and environmental services, all critical to maintaining operational airfields and support bases under evolving mission demands.
