Daniel Bauer

Daniel Bauer supports the procurement mission of DLA Disposition Services Headquarters by managing contracts for the responsible disposition of excess and surplus military property. His work centers on the lawful, environmentally compliant, and economically efficient recovery and redistribution of reusable materials, particularly metallic and non-metallic scrap generated from defense demilitarization activities. He handles competitive acquisitions under the NAICS 423930 category, ensuring compliance with federal recycling standards and DoD sustainability directives. His role is critical in facilitating the transition of unwanted military assets into commercial recycling streams while maximizing material recovery and minimizing landfill waste. Bauer maintains consistent working relationships with key recyclers and scrap metal wholesalers, including KUWAIT ULTRA GENERAL CONTRACTING COMPANY, HUB SCRAP METALS, LLC, and EASTERN SURPLUS & EQUIPMENT CO. These partnerships are primarily transactional, focused on bulk procurement of scrap materials for processing and resale. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capacity in handling large-volume, high-turnover material flows, emphasizing logistical reliability, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship in material handling. Bauer’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with DLA Disposition Services’ operational need for scalable, high-capacity recycling partners rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, all procurements adhere strictly to federal acquisition regulations and transparency standards. His technical expertise lies exclusively in the recyclable material wholesale sector (NAICS 423930), where he procures services related to the collection, sorting, processing, and resale of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, as well as non-metallic recyclables from military demilitarization. His domain knowledge encompasses material characterization, hazardous waste handling protocols, and the logistics of large-scale scrap redistribution within the defense recycling ecosystem.
