David K. Perry

David K. Perry serves as a Contracting Officer for the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurements critical to delivering K-12 educational services to military-connected students worldwide. His portfolio encompasses acquisition planning, solicitation development, source selection, and contract administration for professional services and instructional support solutions. Perry plays a pivotal role in advancing DoDEA’s mission of academic excellence by ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient procurement of educational resources and operational infrastructure for globally dispersed school systems. Perry maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of vendors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, CoreTech Consulting Inc., Effective Communication Strategies LLC, Residential Enhancements, Inc., and FGI Solutions LLC. These partnerships primarily support curriculum development, educational technology integration, communications services, and facility-related enhancements. His approach reflects a preference for established contractors with demonstrated expertise in education-sector delivery, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Perry’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under no set-aside status. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic designation, rather than prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally targeted in his portfolio, he ensures all procurements adhere to federal acquisition regulations and promote fair competition. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511130 (Newspaper, Periodical, Book, and Directory Publishers), reflecting a significant demand for educational content development, digital learning materials, and curriculum publishing services. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations), supporting instructional coordination and educational advocacy initiatives. Perry’s expertise centers on the intersection of pedagogy and technology, ensuring DoDEA schools receive high-quality, standards-aligned educational resources tailored to military family needs.
