Daniel Costello

Daniel Costello serves as a Contracting Officer for the W2SN Endist Honolulu under the Department of the Army, where he manages the acquisition of critical civil engineering and infrastructure projects essential to Army garrison readiness across Hawaii. His portfolio centers on the design, construction, and modernization of military facilities, including industrial buildings and transportation infrastructure, ensuring compliance with Army engineering standards and operational resilience requirements. Costello plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to sustain and upgrade combat-support assets through timely, compliant, and performance-based contracting practices, frequently overseeing design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods. He maintains a strong, ongoing relationship with CONTI FEDERAL SERVICES, LLC, a trusted prime contractor with proven expertise in military construction and infrastructure rehabilitation. Costello’s procurement approach emphasizes contractor performance, safety compliance, and schedule adherence, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in military-grade construction and environmental stewardship. His working relationships are characterized by proactive collaboration, clear performance metrics, and consistent post-award oversight to ensure mission-critical outcomes. Costello’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent infrastructure demands and the specialized nature of its projects. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, all solicitations remain accessible to qualified firms regardless of size. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), encompassing barracks, maintenance facilities, airfield pavement, and utility corridors. Costello possesses deep expertise in military construction standards, federal construction codes, and the unique environmental and logistical constraints of Hawaii-based operations, ensuring that all acquisitions meet stringent DoD and Army Corps of Engineers requirements.
