Don Ginzel named vice president of DART's Procurement and Materials
Management Department
DART has named Weldon J. (Don) Ginzel vice president of its
Procurement and Materials Management Department, overseeing the
awarding and management of DART construction, services and
commodity contracts. Ginzel has been with DART since 1994, serving
as a contract analyst and source selection official.
Ginzel brings substantial government contracting and procurement
experience to the position. He was director of the Defense General
Supply Center in Richmond, Va. from 1982-1985, and then
commanded the Department of Defense's Plant Representative Office
at Texas Instruments for two years. Subsequently, he managed
various purchasing offices for major government contractors prior to
joining DART.
With responsibility for four divisions, including Contracting
Cost/Pricing and Policy, Purchasing Administration and Support,
Commodities and Services, and Project Contracts and Miscellaneous
Construction and Material Control, Ginzel not only oversees the
contract awarding process, but must ensure that all contracts and purchases are conducted and
administered in accordance with DART's procurement regulations and in an economic and effective
manner, in compliance with all applicable statutes.
A member of the National Contract Management Association, Ginzel has a Master's degree in
Management and Supervision from Central Michigan University and a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree from Texas A&M.
