Daniele J. Kurze

Daniele J. Kurze serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the defense and aerospace sectors. In this role, Kurze executes full lifecycle contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and mission-critical requirements. Their acquisitions primarily support advanced technological systems, with a strong emphasis on avionics, sensor systems, and mission-critical communications equipment. Kurze plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with national security objectives, ensuring timely delivery of high-performance systems to support operational readiness. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Kurze routinely engages with a diverse pool of prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in aerospace manufacturing and defense electronics. Their working relationships reflect a preference for established industry players with proven technical capabilities in precision instrumentation and airborne systems, alongside qualified small businesses capable of meeting stringent performance and certification standards. Contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term vendor partnerships built on technical reliability, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. Kurze’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 86.3% of awards awarded under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven priority for technical excellence and capability. However, a meaningful 13.7% of acquisitions are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering small business participation in high-technology domains. This balance underscores a strategic approach that prioritizes mission outcomes while actively expanding the industrial base. The majority of Kurze’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems), 336412 (aircraft engine and parts manufacturing), and 334290 (other communications equipment), reflecting deep expertise in avionics, flight control systems, and mission-critical communications hardware. Their technical focus centers on the procurement of integrated sensor suites, flight instrumentation, and auxiliary aerospace components, requiring specialized knowledge of MIL-STD and DO-160 compliance standards.
