Daniel Curtis McCauley

Daniel Curtis McCauley serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of ground combat and support vehicle systems. Responsible for managing complex defense procurement actions, he ensures compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Department of Defense directives while supporting the modernization of armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and associated ordnance systems. His acquisitions span engineering, manufacturing, and logistics support services critical to maintaining battlefield readiness and technological superiority across the Army’s mechanized forces. McCauley maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized defense suppliers capable of delivering precision-engineered components, avionics integration, structural assemblies, and mission-critical subsystems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, supply chain resilience, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in rigorous quality and delivery standards. While the majority of his procurements are conducted without set-asides, McCauley demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores his alignment with DoD goals to broaden industrial base participation and enhance competition among qualified small manufacturers without favoring specific socioeconomic categories. His procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 332710 (Machine Shops) and 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in precision machining, armor fabrication, and ordnance system integration. He also routinely procures components from NAICS 335314 (Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing) and 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), indicating technical proficiency in electromechanical systems critical to vehicle mobility, power distribution, and mission systems reliability.
