Roberto Davalos

Roberto Davalos serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264) organization under the Department of the Navy, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical technology systems that enhance naval warfighting readiness. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and sensor-communication systems essential to operational superiority. Davalos specializes in complex systems engineering acquisitions, ensuring alignment with Navy modernization priorities such as cyber-enabled decision support and real-time battlefield data integration. He routinely handles competitive procurements under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based service contracts and technical solutions requiring rigorous systems integration. Davalos maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors provide niche expertise in systems integration, technical staffing, and mission-critical support services, often delivering tailored solutions for naval command systems and industrial control environments. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established small-to-mid-sized firms with proven experience in defense-grade technical environments, fostering long-term partnerships built on technical reliability and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Davalos consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides, with over 57% of his acquisitions reserved under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation from non-traditional defense vendors and expand the Navy’s supplier base. His socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a commitment to equitable access, with minimal use of full and open competition, favoring set-asides that empower small businesses with relevant technical capabilities. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to wireless communications equipment manufacturing, computer facilities management, and precision instrumentation for industrial process control. He procures integrated hardware-software systems for battlefield sensing, secure communications, and real-time data display, demonstrating deep expertise in tactical computing environments and mission-specific electronic systems.
