Domenick Davino

Domenick Davino serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to advance naval aviation readiness through the acquisition of mission-critical avionics, flight control systems, and diagnostic instrumentation. He manages complex contracting actions for high-performance electronic systems used in naval aircraft, ensuring timely delivery of technically sophisticated components that enable testing, evaluation, and sustainment of next-generation air platforms. His portfolio emphasizes RDT&E-driven acquisitions, requiring deep technical understanding of aerospace systems and strict compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Davino maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC, among others. These partnerships are centered on the procurement of specialized electronic assemblies, precision measurement devices, and industrial control systems essential to aircraft system integration. His contracting approach reflects a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade electronics, often involving sole-source or limited-competition actions due to the highly specialized nature of the technologies involved. Davino’s procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the technical exclusivity and mission-critical nature of the systems procured, where specialized engineering expertise and certified manufacturing processes are prerequisites rather than optional qualifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the structure of his acquisitions aligns with the unique capabilities required for naval aviation systems, which often necessitate large, experienced contractors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), with significant activity in printed circuit assembly (334418) and industrial control systems (335314). He consistently acquires custom-designed instrumentation for electrical signal testing, flight data acquisition, and embedded control systems, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace electronics manufacturing and systems integration for high-reliability military platforms.
