Fayette S White

Fayette S. White serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Media Activity (DMA) Riverside, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to deliver secure, high-impact multimedia content for military communications and public affairs. In this role, White manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for media production, broadcast infrastructure, and digital distribution systems. Their work ensures that DMA’s technological and creative capabilities remain aligned with evolving operational and public engagement needs, prioritizing compliance with FAR regulations and DoD acquisition policies. White’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with approximately 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. When set-asides are utilized, they are predominantly Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but consistent commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. The majority of White’s procurements align with NAICS codes 512120 (Motion Picture and Video Distribution) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting a technical focus on digital content delivery systems, broadcast transmission equipment, and related media infrastructure. Additional activity spans audio/video equipment manufacturing and computer peripheral wholesaling, indicating a broad but specialized domain expertise in secure, high-fidelity media ecosystems. White collaborates with vendors capable of integrating legacy and next-generation media technologies, ensuring interoperability, cybersecurity compliance, and scalability across DoD networks.
