Vincent Dattilo

Vincent Dattilo serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where he plays a critical role in executing complex professional services acquisitions aligned with the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical analytics. His expertise lies in structuring performance-based acquisitions that ensure technical excellence and mission alignment, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to meet rapidly evolving defense technology needs. Dattilo maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established technical partners with deep domain expertise in defense systems and research-driven solutions. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging institutional knowledge and proven performance to mitigate risk in high-stakes technical environments. These partnerships are typically structured around task orders under blanket purchase agreements, ensuring agility in responding to urgent operational requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted—71.4% of awards are non-set-aside—he maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 28.6% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach: prioritizing technical capability while actively facilitating opportunities for qualified small businesses in the defense services sector. His primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 519130 (Other Information Services), underscoring his specialization in software development, data analytics, and digital infrastructure modernization. He also routinely procures related services under 811219 (Other Personal Services) and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), indicating a broad but mission-aligned scope that supports both technical and operational sustainment requirements across Air Force enterprise systems.
