Daniel J. Raudonis

Daniel J. Raudonis serves as a key procurement professional within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining Air University’s educational and operational readiness infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on modernizing training environments through immersive simulation technologies, advanced audiovisual systems, and mission-critical facility upgrades. His work directly supports the delivery of airpower education and command instruction, ensuring that learning platforms remain technologically current and operationally relevant. Raudonis typically handles complex service and equipment procurements requiring integration of hardware, software, and technical support under FAR Part 12 and Part 36 contracting frameworks. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Raudonis cultivates partnerships with vendors specializing in defense education technology, communications equipment, and facility support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and lifecycle support, fostering long-term relationships with firms capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. He frequently engages with both large prime contractors and specialized small businesses to ensure technical excellence and operational adaptability across Air University’s distributed learning ecosystem. Raudonis demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of his acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of awards remain open competition, his portfolio consistently includes opportunities for small businesses with expertise in communications, simulation, and facility maintenance. There is no indication of preferential use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, suggesting a focus on broad-based small business engagement rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 519130 (Other Schools and Instruction), reflecting his leadership in educational technology and training services, with significant activity in NAICS 334290 for communications equipment and NAICS 812111 for facility support services. This unique blend underscores his role in enabling both the technical and logistical foundations of Air Force education, requiring expertise in integrating commercial-off-the-shelf solutions with mission-specific training requirements.
