2nd Lt. Steffanie David

2nd Lt. Steffanie David serves as a procurement specialist within the FA0021 Africa 765 Sconf, a unit of the Department of the Air Force dedicated to sustaining Air Force Special Operations Command’s operational readiness. She manages acquisition programs focused on mission-critical training systems, command and control technologies, and aviation support services essential to unconventional warfare and rapid-deployment operations. Her role involves executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic operational requirements. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, her procurement patterns indicate engagement with a diverse vendor base, including specialized service providers in flight training, technical printing, and infrastructure support. She cultivates partnerships with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and rapidly deployable solutions, often requiring stringent security clearances and technical certification. Her working relationships emphasize agility, compliance, and mission alignment over volume, favoring vendors with proven expertise in defense and special operations environments. 2nd Lt. David demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 57% of her acquisitions structured as small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower veteran-owned and small enterprise capabilities while ensuring access to niche technical talent. Her approach supports broader Department of Defense goals to broaden the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Commercial Printing (323111) for secure mission documentation, Flight Training (611512) for special operations aviator readiness, and select construction services (237310, 238220) to maintain mission-critical infrastructure. She specializes in procuring integrated training simulators, secure print systems, and facility upgrades that directly enable SOF readiness, demonstrating deep domain expertise in operational support procurement.
