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 research, development, test, and evaluation of mission-critical aircraft systems. He manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, flight control instrumentation, diagnostic systems, and sustainment infrastructure, ensuring alignment with technical requirements and operational readiness goals. His work bridges engineering innovation with acquisition execution, facilitating the integration of next-generation technologies into naval air platforms. Davino maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., and PCI Aviation LLC. These partnerships are centered on high-precision engineering services, embedded systems development, and specialized instrumentation manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing deep domain expertise in military-grade avionics and test equipment, often engaging in sole-source and limited competition actions due to the specialized nature of the technologies involved. His contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted acquisitions, with 95.1% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is present, it is limited to 4.9% of awards, primarily through total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, suggesting a mission-driven prioritization of performance and system interoperability over socioeconomic targets. Davino’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS codes 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical testing), and 541330 (engineering services), reflecting his specialization in advanced sensor systems, flight data acquisition hardware, and systems integration. He routinely procures custom-designed diagnostic tools, flight test instrumentation, and embedded computing platforms tailored to naval aircraft sustainment and performance validation, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems engineering and test infrastructure procurement.
