Donna Bader

Donna Bader serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QK Acc-apg Director under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of specialized industrial and scientific equipment critical to military laboratory and field operations. Her portfolio centers on procuring industrial and commercial fan and blower systems, air purification equipment, and related technical services that sustain precision measurement capabilities and mission-critical facility infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Army’s priorities in maintaining calibrated, high-performance environmental and analytical systems for defense applications. Bader collaborates with a focused network of manufacturers and technical service providers specializing in engineered air handling, filtration, and industrial ventilation systems. While no single contractor dominates her award history, she maintains consistent partnerships with firms possessing expertise in NEMA-rated equipment, HEPA/ULPA filtration, and OEM calibration services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based specifications, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on reliability and adherence to military-grade standards. Donna Bader’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategic alignment with the technical specificity and industrial capacity required for defense-grade air and filtration systems, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors meets the stringent performance and certification criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her solicitations remain accessible to all qualified offerors, including small businesses capable of meeting exacting technical requirements. Her primary NAICS focus is 333413, reflecting deep expertise in procuring industrial fans, blowers, and air purification equipment tailored for controlled environments such as laboratories, cleanrooms, and hazardous material handling facilities. She specializes in acquisitions involving variable frequency drives, particulate and gaseous filtration systems, and integrated monitoring controls, demonstrating advanced technical fluency in environmental engineering and defense logistics domains.
