Dale H. Morrill

Dale H. Morrill serves as a Contract Specialist within the C5I Division 1 Alexandria under the U.S. Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize secure command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C5I) systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and the agency’s strategic priorities in maritime domain awareness and operational resilience. Morrill specializes in complex IT and telecommunications contracts that support enterprise infrastructure, cybersecurity, and mission-critical software integration. Morrill maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of contractors, including systems integrators, IT service providers, and electronic equipment wholesalers, fostering partnerships that deliver scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. He engages with both large primes and qualified small businesses, emphasizing performance-based contracting and technical compliance to meet the C5I Division’s high standards for reliability and resilience in austere environments. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, Morrill consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs to expand vendor diversity and enhance innovation within the C5I supply base. Morrill’s primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and Software Publishing (511210), reflecting his expertise in procuring custom software development, network infrastructure, and data analytics platforms. He also regularly acquires telecommunications equipment through Electronic Parts and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (423690), and supports training and operational readiness through Educational Support Services (611710). His technical domain expertise centers on secure IT ecosystems, satellite communications, and enterprise software modernization for maritime operations.
