Frank G. Decker

Frank G. Decker serves as a Contract Specialist within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning systems engineering, tactical computing, cyber-enabled decision support, and mission support services, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals. His work directly supports the agency’s priorities in advancing command and control architectures, sensor systems, and armored vehicle technologies through compliant, efficient procurement practices grounded in FAR and DFARS regulations. Decker maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc., who provide specialized technical and professional services across defense and IT domains. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in niche defense applications, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure continuity in complex, high-stakes procurements. These relationships are characterized by collaborative engagement, performance-based outcomes, and rigorous compliance oversight. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted (75%), Decker demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, with nearly 25% of his portfolio reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5, including targeted set-asides for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (6.3%). His socioeconomic contracting approach reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes both mission necessity and statutory small business obligations. His primary procurement focus centers on Custom Computer Programming Services (NAICS 541511) and Other Computer Related Services (541519), with significant activity in Human Resources Consulting (541612) and unexpected but recurring contracts in Drycleaning and Laundry Services (812320). This mix suggests a broad operational support function, blending high-tech IT modernization with essential garrison and logistics services critical to naval base readiness.
