Alson M. Dacalio

Alson M. Dacalio serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized aerospace components and auxiliary equipment critical to national defense and aviation systems. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating timely, cost-effective contract awards that meet operational requirements. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing primarily on complex technical procurements within the aircraft manufacturing sector. Dacalio works closely with engineering and program management teams to translate technical specifications into enforceable contractual terms, ensuring deliverables align with performance standards and regulatory frameworks. Dacalio maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in aircraft parts and auxiliary systems. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages with mid-tier and prime contractors possessing relevant certifications and proven technical capabilities in avionics, flight control systems, and non-airframe components. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and rigorous contract oversight to ensure quality and delivery reliability across the supply chain. Dacalio’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a focus on technical merit and industrial capacity over socioeconomic preferences, suggesting he prioritizes mission-critical performance and supply chain resilience over targeted small business set-asides. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his decisions remain fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic contracting policies. His primary area of expertise lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where he specializes in procuring flight-critical components such as actuators, sensors, hydraulic subsystems, and avionics integration hardware. Dacalio possesses deep technical fluency in aerospace manufacturing standards, including AS9100 and FAA certification requirements, enabling him to evaluate complex technical proposals with precision and ensure contractual compliance with stringent aviation safety regulations.
