David Vivian

David L. Vivian serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound procurement actions. His portfolio primarily consists of construction and professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on commercial and institutional building projects, architectural design, and engineering support. Vivian routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements requiring coordination with technical evaluators, legal counsel, and program managers to align contracting outcomes with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, Vivian maintains a broad network of vendors qualified under standard solicitation procedures, engaging both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors across the construction and design sectors. His working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with limited use of set-asides, indicating a focus on broad-based competition and value-driven outcomes. He consistently adheres to FAR Part 15 procedures for negotiated acquisitions and prioritizes clear performance requirements and risk mitigation in contract language. Vivian’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 96.5% of his actions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. He occasionally utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and, to a lesser extent, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising competition. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 72% of his activity, followed by architectural services (541310) and engineering services (541330). He routinely procures design-build, construction management, and professional consulting services for public infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in facility acquisition and project delivery methodologies within the built environment.
