David M. Gilliam

David M. Gilliam serves as a Contracting Officer at the W39L U.S. Army Readiness Center, where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions that sustain military readiness. His portfolio focuses on securing expert consulting, engineering, and technical support services critical to training, infrastructure sustainment, and command and control modernization. Gilliam ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s strategic priorities in operational preparedness and force modernization. He routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, including performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, emphasizing outcomes-driven requirements and rigorous source selection processes. Gilliam maintains a consistent working relationship with KPH Construction Corp., a primary contractor delivering construction-related professional services essential to facility sustainment and readiness infrastructure. His procurement approach fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and technical reliability, with a preference for contractors demonstrating proven expertise in military-compatible engineering and operational support environments. While he engages with a limited number of trusted vendors, he ensures open competition through broad market research and pre-solicitation outreach to maintain market health and innovation. Gilliam’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside posture, with no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. His approach prioritizes technical merit and mission necessity over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all statutory small business participation goals and actively considers small business capabilities during market analysis and requirement development. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting a dual emphasis on facility design, construction management, and mission-critical IT support—including cybersecurity, systems integration, and software development for training and command systems. Gilliam’s expertise centers on procuring technical services that directly enable Army readiness through infrastructure resilience and digital modernization.
