Danielle Rhone

Danielle Rhone serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QK Lad Contr Office under the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of critical industrial maintenance, specialized manufacturing, and technical support services essential to sustaining Army platform readiness. Her role centers on procuring high-value electromechanical, electrical, and mechanical system repairs and upgrades, ensuring operational continuity for mission-critical military infrastructure. She handles complex solicitations under FAR Part 15, often involving performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and lifecycle support. Rhone maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, CRW CORP, FERRELLGAS, L.P., and EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on vendors capable of delivering specialized industrial repair, security systems integration, and custom machinery manufacturing. Her procurement approach prioritizes vendors with proven technical expertise in electromechanical systems and field-service capabilities, fostering long-term, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in quality assurance and mission alignment. Rhone demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 52% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, reflecting the agency’s broader mandate to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned firms. While no set-aside remains a significant portion of her portfolio, the emphasis on small business engagement underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diversified supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 561621 (security systems services), and 333248 (industrial machinery manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in maintaining and modernizing Army equipment systems. She routinely sources precision components, motor and generator assemblies, and test instrumentation, demonstrating specialized knowledge in electromechanical maintenance and field-deployable technical support solutions.
