Daniel R. Demaree

Daniel R. Demaree serves as a senior contracting professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and defense sector, with a singular focus on aircraft manufacturing. His role centers on the full lifecycle procurement of advanced aviation systems, including airframes, propulsion components, and integrated avionics, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and national security requirements. He plays a critical role in translating operational needs into technically sound contract vehicles, coordinating with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to deliver mission-critical capabilities. His acquisitions are characterized by rigorous technical evaluation, performance-based contracting, and stringent oversight of deliverables tied to defense readiness objectives. Mr. Demaree’s contractor relationships are primarily with prime contractors specializing in aerospace systems integration and high-precision manufacturing. While no specific vendor names are available, his portfolio consistently engages established defense primes and Tier 1 suppliers with proven expertise in military and commercial aircraft production. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term performance partnerships, leveraging Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and cost-reimbursement arrangements to accommodate technical complexity and development risk. His contracting activity reflects a strict preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical capability and industrial base capacity over socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission performance and supply chain resilience. There is no evidence of targeted participation by 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms in his award history. Mr. Demaree’s expertise is concentrated entirely in NAICS 336411 — Aircraft Manufacturing — encompassing the procurement of manned and unmanned aerial systems, structural components, flight control systems, and associated support equipment. His technical domain requires deep familiarity with aerospace engineering standards, MIL-SPEC compliance, and supply chain traceability for critical components, positioning him as a specialized acquisition authority within the defense industrial base.
