Dieter Romey

Dieter Romey serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Disa/ditco Europe office, where he plays a critical role in procuring secure, high-capacity telecommunications infrastructure to support U.S. military communications across European and Southwest Asian theaters. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex commercial service contracts, ensuring compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards, and aligning acquisitions with strategic objectives for resilient, low-latency data transport. He routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for encrypted voice, data, and satellite communications services essential to tactical and strategic defense operations. Romey maintains longstanding relationships with key global providers including L1 Enterprises Incorporated, British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Vodafone Enterprise Germany GmbH, Liberty Communications, Inc., and QualityNet General Trading and Contracting Company WLL. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial carriers with proven capabilities in secure, multi-domain network solutions and rapid deployment in theater environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service level agreements, rigorous security accreditation, and seamless integration with existing DoD communications architectures. Romey’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This aligns with the operational urgency and technical specificity required for global defense communications, where mission-critical performance and scalability often outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, he ensures all solicitations are transparent, competitively structured, and compliant with FAR and DFARS requirements. His primary focus lies in procuring commercial telecommunications services under NAICS categories related to wired and wireless network infrastructure, cloud-enabled secure transport, and encrypted data services. He specializes in acquiring solutions that meet stringent DoD Information Assurance requirements, including TEMPEST, FISMA, and NIST SP 800-53 controls, ensuring connectivity remains secure, survivable, and operationally effective in contested environments.
