Daniel Magrino

Daniel K. Magrino serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisition processes within a defense-related federal environment. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), while facilitating timely and cost-effective contract awards. His portfolio primarily involves technical acquisitions in maritime and aerospace systems, with a focus on shipbuilding, navigation instrumentation, and engineering services. Magrino’s work supports mission-critical capabilities for national defense and maritime operations, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, source selection procedures, and contract performance monitoring. While specific contractor names are not available, Magrino maintains a consistent engagement pattern with prime contractors possessing expertise in naval architecture, avionics integration, and systems engineering. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. He frequently collaborates with firms capable of delivering high-assurance, government-unique hardware and software systems under strict quality and delivery standards. Magrino demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 81.8% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 18.2% of his contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic objectives, ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses without compromising mission readiness or technical requirements. His primary industry focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 80% of his acquisitions, followed by 334511 (aeronautical and nautical systems manufacturing) and 541330 (engineering services). He procures specialized equipment including combat systems, radar and sonar instrumentation, and integrated naval platforms, requiring expertise in defense standards, cybersecurity controls, and systems integration. His technical domain expertise centers on maritime defense infrastructure and advanced electro-optical systems.
