David P. Jesmain

David P. Jesmain serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of advanced test and evaluation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio centers on the procurement of airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and signal intelligence instrumentation, with a focus on avionics, electronic warfare, and electromagnetic test infrastructure. Jesmain ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities that support the modernization of test and evaluation platforms essential to Air Force operational superiority. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC, each of which provides specialized engineering, instrumentation, and facility support services. His procurement approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven technical expertise in high-precision measurement systems and mission-enabling infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and technical alignment with complex aerospace requirements. Jesmain’s set-aside preferences demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 38% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 3% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of socioeconomic programs underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms within the aerospace testing ecosystem. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, and 334515 for the manufacture of electrical measurement and testing instruments. These categories reflect his technical specialization in maintaining and integrating precision test equipment, signal analysis systems, and electronic control hardware. His work directly supports the development and sustainment of next-generation avionics and electronic warfare platforms, requiring deep familiarity with defense-grade instrumentation and systems integration standards.
