David L. Chisgar

David Chisgar serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg Natick unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the Army’s mission to develop and field advanced soldier systems. He manages the acquisition of mission-critical technical equipment and specialized manufacturing services essential to enhancing warfighter survivability, protection, and operational effectiveness. His portfolio centers on high-performance protective gear, life-sustaining medical instrumentation, and advanced battlefield electronics, ensuring rapid delivery of technologically sophisticated solutions aligned with Army modernization priorities. Chisgar’s work directly enables the integration of cutting-edge systems into combat environments through rigorous contract execution and technical oversight. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with EPERNAY DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION LLC and TEVET LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, prototyping, and system integration services. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with niche, technically capable vendors capable of delivering low-volume, high-complexity components and systems under stringent military specifications. His approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with contractors possessing deep domain expertise in defense-grade manufacturing and rapid prototyping, ensuring compliance with military standards and timely delivery of mission-essential hardware. Chisgar’s acquisition strategy reflects a uniform preference for full and open competition, with 100% of contracts issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally mandated in his portfolio, the nature of the work often attracts specialized small firms with unique technical capabilities. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications), reflecting expertise in avionics, embedded systems, and mission-critical instrumentation. He procures specialized components including wearable sensors, ruggedized communication modules, and flame-resistant integrated systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense electronics, materials science, and soldier-worn technology domains.
