Daniel Burns MMESO South Data Analyst Contractor

Daniel Burns serves as a Data Analyst Contractor supporting DLA Troop Support under SPE8E8, providing critical analytical oversight for procurement activities centered on specialized medical and deployable equipment. His role involves analyzing contracting patterns, evaluating vendor performance, and ensuring alignment with DLA’s mission to sustain troop readiness through reliable, high-performance medical and field-support systems. He primarily supports the acquisition of surgical appliances, medical supplies, and related clinical infrastructure, leveraging data-driven insights to inform contract strategy and compliance with federal procurement regulations. Burns maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including WESTLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ENGINEERED COIL COMPANY, ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC., PIONEER INDUSTRIES, LLC, and AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. These vendors are recognized for their expertise in manufacturing durable medical devices, climate-controlled transport systems, and deployable medical enclosures. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient suppliers with proven track records in defense medical logistics, indicating a focus on reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical performance over cost-driven sourcing. Burns’ procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and supply chain readiness over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with DLA Troop Support’s urgent operational requirements for standardized, high-volume medical equipment. His primary focus is on NAICS 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—where he supports the acquisition of sterile surgical kits, portable diagnostic units, temperature-sensitive medical storage containers, and other clinical systems essential to forward-deployed medical teams. His expertise lies in the technical specifications, regulatory standards, and logistics requirements unique to military medical procurement, ensuring that acquired systems meet DoD durability, sterilization, and deployability criteria.
