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 under the Department of Defense. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on specialized textile products, fabricated metal components, ordnance accessories, and avionics systems critical to vehicle survivability, mobility, and sustainment. His work directly enables the Army’s mission to maintain technological superiority in armored and tactical wheeled platforms through integrated acquisition and logistics support, ensuring fielded systems meet rigorous operational standards. Shallal maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-reliability manufacturing, military-grade materials, and mission-critical subsystem integration. His contracting patterns emphasize technical precision, compliance with military specifications, and long-term sustainment support, indicating a focus on trusted suppliers with deep defense industry experience. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition, Shallal demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with nearly 28% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement approach supports socioeconomic goals by regularly engaging small businesses capable of delivering specialized components, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 314999 (miscellaneous textile products) and 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing), reflecting an unusual but critical emphasis on advanced fabric systems used in vehicle interiors, ballistic protection, and environmental shielding. He also regularly procures fabricated metal components under 332999 and ordnance accessories under 332994, showcasing deep technical expertise in materiel that enhances vehicle functionality, safety, and combat effectiveness.
