David Q Swaney

David Q. Swaney serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical Air Force capabilities through strategic acquisition of professional and technical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission analytics. His role ensures alignment between operational requirements and contracted support, facilitating the delivery of high-integrity services that maintain Air Force readiness. Swaney routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions under FAR Part 37 and performance work statements, prioritizing outcomes over inputs. Swaney maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, leveraging their expertise in advanced technical analysis, training development, and defense-focused research. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with organizations capable of delivering specialized, high-risk services in classified and sensitive environments. These relationships are characterized by iterative contract performance, agile task order management, and deep collaboration on technical requirements definition. His contracting approach demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, his portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, enabling innovation and capacity building among qualified vendors. This pattern supports broader DoD goals of fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base while maintaining mission-critical service quality. Swaney’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), reflecting lodging support for transient personnel; NAICS 611430 (professional and management development training), indicating robust workforce upskilling initiatives; and NAICS 541990 and 541511, underscoring demand for specialized technical services and custom software development. His expertise spans the integration of administrative, training, and IT modernization services to sustain Air Force operational effectiveness.
