Diana Dau David serves as a key procurement professional within the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), supporting the agency’s mission to secure safe, shelf-stable, and nutritionally adequate food commodities for federal domestic assistance programs. She manages the acquisition of processed and preserved agricultural products, including canned, frozen, dried, and ready-to-eat items, ensuring compliance with federal nutrition standards and supply chain resilience requirements. Her work centers on full and open competitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on high-volume, mission-critical contracts that support food security for vulnerable populations across the United States. Her primary contractor relationship is with Navcor Logistics LLC, a trusted vendor with demonstrated capacity in the end-to-end logistics and distribution of perishable and non-perishable food commodities. Diana consistently engages this contractor for integrated supply chain services, including cold chain management, warehousing, and just-in-time delivery to distribution centers. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and quality assurance protocols. Diana’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions. This underscores a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified, large-scale manufacturers and distributors capable of meeting the scale and consistency demands of national food assistance programs, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB categories. Her procurement activities are concentrated in three core NAICS categories: 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 311225 (Fats and Oils Refining and Blending), and 311421 (Fruit and Vegetable Canning). She specializes in sourcing ready-to-serve meals, shelf-stable proteins, and fortified food products, demonstrating deep expertise in food safety standards, preservation technologies, and USDA commodity procurement regulations. Her domain knowledge ensures alignment with federal nutrition guidelines and operational readiness for large-scale distribution.
