David L. Zawisza

David L. Zawisza serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized aerospace components and auxiliary equipment critical to national defense and aviation systems. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation and source selection to award and closeout. His portfolio centers on complex, technical procurements requiring stringent engineering oversight and supply chain integrity, primarily supporting the development and sustainment of advanced aircraft systems. Zawisza works closely with program managers, technical evaluators, and legal counsel to align contractual requirements with operational needs and regulatory standards. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Zawisza engages with a broad spectrum of manufacturers and suppliers qualified under federal aerospace standards, including prime contractors and tiered subcontractors with proven expertise in aircraft systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and adherence to technical specifications outlined in solicitation documents. He maintains a results-driven relationship model focused on vendor accountability, timely delivery, and quality assurance throughout contract performance. Zawisza’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on technical capability and competitive pricing over socioeconomic set-asides, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business programs. His approach prioritizes mission-critical performance and market-wide competition to ensure optimal value and readiness. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing avionics subsystems, flight control components, fuel system elements, and other mission-critical aerospace hardware. Zawisza demonstrates deep technical familiarity with FAA and DoD certification requirements, ensuring acquisitions meet rigorous airworthiness and safety standards. His expertise lies in bridging engineering specifications with contractual enforceability in a highly regulated industry.
