Daniel Cross

Daniel Cross serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA5000 673 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to sustaining Air Force installations. His portfolio encompasses construction, facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and specialized equipment procurement—including medical and electrotherapeutic systems—ensuring mission readiness through compliant, efficient contracting practices. He executes full lifecycle acquisitions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, prioritizing timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities while maintaining strict adherence to federal procurement integrity standards. Cross maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC, who provide specialized engineering, facility services, and technical equipment solutions. These partnerships reflect a pattern of sustained collaboration with vendors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity systems under tight operational timelines, often requiring technical expertise in aviation support infrastructure and facility modernization. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with approximately two-thirds of awards issued under no set-aside authority, reflecting a preference for broad market engagement. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating one-third of acquisitions as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both competition and socioeconomic goals without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Cross’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481219 (Other Nonscheduled Air Transportation) and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), indicating deep expertise in airfield operations support, ground handling services, and non-scheduled aviation logistics. He routinely procures equipment and services that enable air transportation infrastructure resilience, including specialized ground support systems, facility automation, and maintenance solutions critical to expeditionary and garrisoned Air Force operations.
