Dan Poehling

Dan Poehling serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems. He manages complex acquisitions for advanced avionics, navigation, guidance, and sensor systems critical to the Army’s armored and tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. His role centers on ensuring technological superiority through integrated acquisition strategies that align with the Department of Defense’s sustainment and modernization priorities, particularly in enhancing vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. He routinely oversees contracts for mission-critical electronic systems that enable real-time situational awareness and command-and-control capabilities on the battlefield. Poehling maintains consistent partnerships with specialized defense contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC., A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These vendors provide high-reliability avionics, integrated sensor suites, ruggedized electronics, and mission-specific hardware tailored to harsh operational environments. His contracting patterns reflect deep collaboration with Tier 1 suppliers possessing expertise in military-grade certification, DO-160 compliance, and MIL-STD-810 environmental testing, indicating a preference for established defense-industrial base partners with proven track records in system integration. All of Poehling’s acquisitions fall under the No Set-Aside category, reflecting a mission-driven focus on technical capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, his contracting decisions are guided by performance, system interoperability, and sustainment support requirements rather than socioeconomic criteria. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 334511, specializing in the acquisition of search, detection, navigation, guidance, and aeronautical systems. He procures mission-critical components such as inertial navigation units, terrain-following radar, digital mapping systems, and integrated electronic warfare interfaces, demonstrating deep technical expertise in military avionics and sensor fusion architectures for armored vehicle platforms.
