Daniel Ellis

Daniel Ellis serves as a key procurement lead within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and telecommunications services to sustain U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His role centers on ensuring operational readiness through the timely procurement of facility maintenance, construction support, and mission-critical communications systems, with a primary focus on wired telecommunications infrastructure. He manages full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Army installation resilience objectives across Europe and other deployed theaters. Ellis maintains consistent working relationships with PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Huishoudapparaten B.V., leveraging their technical capabilities in facility services and specialized equipment support. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with established, globally recognized contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned solutions under demanding operational conditions. His procurement approach prioritizes performance reliability and logistical scalability over socioeconomic preferences, favoring open competition to meet urgent readiness requirements. His contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside utilization, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on mission-critical timelines and technical specificity, where specialized vendor capabilities outweigh socioeconomic targeting criteria. Small business participation is not a primary focus in his acquisition strategy, as the nature of the requirements demands highly specialized technical expertise typically found in large, experienced contractors. Ellis’s primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 517111 (Wired Telecommunications Carriers), indicating deep specialization in terrestrial and hardened communication networks, fiber optic infrastructure, and secure data transmission systems essential for military command and control. His expertise lies in procuring telecommunications hardware, network integration services, and resilient infrastructure that supports continuous operations in austere and contested environments.
