Daniel Shallal

Daniel Shallal serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the lifecycle management and modernization of ground combat and support vehicle systems for the Department of Defense. He manages complex acquisition programs focused on ordnance systems, tactical vehicle electronics, and engineered components critical to soldier survivability and mobility. His work directly enables the Army’s strategic priorities in vehicle modernization, integrating advanced sensors, power systems, and fabricated metal components into next-generation platforms. Shallal handles a mix of competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical equipment to frontline units. Shallal maintains consistent working relationships with specialized defense contractors including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in military-grade fabrication, avionics integration, and ordnance system manufacturing. His contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor and supply chain resilience, often engaging firms with proven track records in delivering ruggedized, high-reliability components under stringent military specifications. Shallal’s procurement strategy prioritizes broad market access, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides and 25% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not exclusively favor 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering competition and expanding the defense industrial base. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between leveraging established defense contractors and enabling capable small businesses to contribute to critical Army modernization efforts. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332994 for ordnance and small arms accessories and 334511 for navigation and guidance systems, with additional emphasis on engine equipment and fabricated metal products. This technical alignment underscores his expertise in acquiring complex, high-performance systems that enhance vehicle lethality, protection, and operational endurance across dynamic battlefield environments.
