Aram Duell

Aram Duell serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), where they play a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the Department of Defense’s financial accountability and operational readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Duell ensures compliance with FAR regulations and DFAS’s strategic priorities, including audit readiness and financial system modernization. Their portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts supporting facility operations, security infrastructure, and administrative systems essential to sustaining DFAS’s nationwide financial operations. Duell maintains consistent working relationships with a range of contractors, including Soderberg Company Inc., Ecology Mir Group LLC, Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc., and Roche Diagnostics Corporation Indianapolis. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized service providers delivering facility maintenance, compliance reporting, security systems, and administrative support. Their contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven performance in federal environments, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order mechanisms to meet dynamic operational needs. A strong commitment to socioeconomic goals is evident in Duell’s procurement patterns, with 54.5% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and WOSB programs, aligning with DoD’s broader small business participation objectives. Their approach prioritizes equitable access while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Duell’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), 561621 (Security Systems Services), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring expertise in facility support services critical to DFAS’s physical infrastructure. Additional activity in solid waste collection and office furniture manufacturing highlights a diversified but operationally grounded procurement profile centered on sustaining mission-enabling environments.
