David Little

David Little serves as the primary procurement lead within the Enterprise Information Technology unit of the Transportation Security Administration, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical information technology systems that secure and modernize national transportation infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on cybersecurity-enabled computing services, cloud-based infrastructure, and systems design, ensuring the operational resilience of critical transportation networks. His role involves end-to-end acquisition lifecycle management—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—aligning all procurements with TSA’s strategic imperatives for real-time threat detection and system integrity. David maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of technology service providers, including systems integrators, cybersecurity consultants, and software developers, fostering partnerships that deliver scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in federal IT modernization, particularly those capable of supporting zero-trust architectures and continuous monitoring frameworks. His approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and compliance with NIST and FISMA standards. David’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and value over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his contracting strategy, he remains compliant with all federal requirements and evaluates all offerors on merit, technical merit, and past performance. His primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Systems Design Services, Other Computer Related Services, Security Systems Services, Software Publishers, and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, reflecting deep expertise in cybersecurity, cloud migration, software development, and integrated security platform procurement. He specializes in acquiring solutions that enable real-time threat response, data integrity, and secure access across distributed transportation environments.
