Dayanna Wallace

Dayanna Wallace supports the W6QM Micc-West Point under the Department of the Army, managing critical procurement activities that sustain the technological and operational infrastructure of the United States Military Academy. She oversees acquisitions of analytical instrumentation, computing systems, software platforms, and specialized maintenance services essential to cadet training and institutional readiness. Her role ensures alignment between procurement strategy and the Academy’s mission to maintain a cutting-edge educational environment, with a focus on high-integrity, mission-critical technologies that support scientific research, simulation systems, and cybersecurity infrastructure. Wallace maintains consistent relationships with key contractors including Government Acquisitions Inc. and Northwestern Corp., both of which provide specialized logistics, technical support, and institutional services tailored to military education environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in delivering complex, compliance-heavy solutions, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based requirements. She engages these partners through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, prioritizing reliability, technical compliance, and lifecycle support over cost alone. Her procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 80% of actions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively facilitates small business participation, with nearly 19% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a modest but consistent allocation to women-owned small businesses. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing mission need while ensuring equitable access for qualified small vendors. Wallace’s primary NAICS focus areas include analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, electronic computer manufacturing, and software publishing, underscoring her technical expertise in scientific and digital infrastructure. She routinely procures high-precision lab equipment, secure computing hardware, and custom software systems that support academic and research operations at West Point, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-aligned technical domains and federal acquisition regulations governing sensitive institutional procurement.
