David Vance

David Vance serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-hi, a U.S. Army installation support unit operating under the Department of the Army’s Pacific regional command. He manages a diverse portfolio of mission-enabling acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, environmental compliance, logistics support, and infrastructure resilience. His contracting activities ensure operational continuity across Army installations by securing critical services that sustain energy systems, waste management, transportation support, and specialized equipment. Vance’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing infrastructure and enhancing environmental sustainability in remote and high-demand Pacific theater locations. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering complex, geographically constrained services—from solid waste collection to marine infrastructure support. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, local expertise, and the ability to operate under austere conditions, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal facility standards. Vance demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He also regularly utilizes Women-Owned Small Business set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden socioeconomic inclusion in Pacific-region contracting. His pattern of awarding contracts with no set-aside indicates strategic flexibility for high-complexity or sole-source requirements, but small business engagement remains a central pillar of his procurement philosophy. His technical focus centers on five core NAICS categories: solid waste collection (562111), heating equipment manufacturing (333414), road transportation support (488490), boat building (336612), and miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (335999). This reflects deep expertise in procuring mission-critical infrastructure components, environmental services, and specialized equipment tailored to military installation needs in island and coastal environments.
