Lt David New

Lt. David New serves as a Program Manager responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and administration of professional and technical service acquisitions within his organization. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with mission-critical operational needs, ensuring that contracts support strategic objectives through compliant, efficient, and results-driven contracting practices. His portfolio primarily consists of non-clinical, knowledge-based services requiring specialized expertise in research, analysis, and technical advisory functions. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from requirements development and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and contract closeout—emphasizing performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation. Lt. New maintains a broad and diverse contractor base, engaging with a wide array of professional service firms that provide scientific, analytical, and technical consulting capabilities. While no single vendor dominates his award profile, he consistently works with firms possessing deep domain expertise in areas such as systems engineering, policy analysis, and operational research. His contracting approach favors competitive, open-market procurements that prioritize technical merit and past performance over exclusive vendor relationships, fostering a dynamic and responsive supplier ecosystem. Lt. New’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified provider regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than targeting specific small business categories. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with federal socioeconomic goals through transparent, merit-based evaluations. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a broad spectrum of specialized consulting, technical analysis, and advisory services. He routinely acquires expertise in areas such as data analytics, operational planning, program evaluation, and policy development, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical and administrative demands of non-traditional defense and federal support services.
