David R. Harrison serves as a key procurement professional within the 355th Contracting Squadron (FA4877), Department of the Air Force, where he supports the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace systems and base infrastructure essential to airpower readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for aircraft components, avionics, auxiliary equipment, and facility maintenance services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational timelines. He plays a vital role in sustaining the readiness of fighter, trainer, and support aircraft by facilitating timely procurement of specialized parts and services that directly impact mission capability and base operational continuity. Harrison maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MILLER ELECTRIC COMPANY INC., ATLANTIC PACIFIC STANDARD LLC, DAP CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LLC, BSE PERFORMANCE, LLC, and LAVISH LIFE TECHNOLOGIES LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between established industrial vendors and niche providers capable of delivering specialized technical solutions—from aircraft maintenance systems to environmental and facility support services.

His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of all awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and 8(a) set-asides, while also incorporating HUBZone preferences, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. This approach ensures broad vendor engagement and fosters innovation through diverse, community-based suppliers. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 561730 (Landscaping Services), 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance). These reflect a specialization in sustaining aerospace infrastructure, procuring non-standard aircraft components, and maintaining mission-critical mechanical and environmental systems across Air Force installations.
