Dean Harrison

Dean Harrison serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for complex aerospace and engineering solutions. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while negotiating terms that balance mission needs with fiscal responsibility. His work is central to securing specialized aircraft components and technical engineering services critical to national defense and aviation systems. Harrison routinely handles competitive and sole-source contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based acquisition strategies and risk-mitigated contract structures. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Harrison maintains a consistent engagement pattern with manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in aircraft subsystems and auxiliary equipment. His negotiation approach emphasizes technical validation, supply chain resilience, and contract performance metrics, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance and regulatory adherence. He works closely with technical evaluators and program managers to align contractual obligations with operational requirements. Harrison’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.5% of awards issued under unrestricted competition, reflecting a priority for technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, he maintains a modest but intentional commitment to small business participation, with 4.5% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing mission-critical performance while still enabling opportunities for qualified small businesses that meet stringent technical standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, including avionics, landing systems, and flight control components. He also engages in engineering services under NAICS 541330, procuring design, integration, and systems analysis support for aerospace platforms. This deep specialization in aviation manufacturing and technical engineering underscores his expertise in high-complexity, low-volume procurement domains requiring rigorous technical oversight and supply chain precision.
