Dione A. Davis

Dione A. Davis serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA8771 Aflcmc Gbk, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical information technology solutions that enable air and space domain superiority. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for secure digital systems, including cloud modernization initiatives, custom software development, and cyber-resilient infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in AI enablement, data-driven command and control, and workforce upskilling, ensuring acquisitions align with DoD cybersecurity standards and modernization roadmaps. Davis cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of technology vendors, primarily engaging firms specializing in systems design and custom programming services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with both large systems integrators and agile software developers capable of delivering rapid, secure, and scalable digital capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, agile acquisition methodologies, and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements for technical rigor and risk mitigation. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 16.7% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 8.3% to women-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Davis’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting her specialization in bespoke software solutions, enterprise system integration, and IT infrastructure modernization. She also procures related services in telecommunications reselling and peripheral equipment manufacturing, underscoring her technical depth in end-to-end digital ecosystem development for defense-critical operations.
