Dennis J Daniel

Dennis J. Daniel serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for managing complex acquisition processes within the defense and aerospace sectors. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating timely and cost-effective contract awards. His work centers on negotiating terms, evaluating technical proposals, and ensuring contractual alignment with mission-critical requirements for aircraft systems and related components. Daniel typically handles competitive sealed bid and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, focusing on high-value, technically intricate acquisitions involving propulsion systems, airframe integration, and avionics support. While specific contractor names are not available, Daniel maintains a robust working relationship with Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers and specialized suppliers of aircraft engine components and auxiliary equipment. His negotiation patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities and quality assurance systems compliant with AS9100 standards. He engages regularly with firms possessing ITAR and DD2345 certifications, ensuring supply chain security and export control adherence across the procurement lifecycle. Daniel’s contracting activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 96.4% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical performance over socioeconomic preferences. However, he consistently allocates 3.6% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising operational readiness or technical rigor. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), accounting for over 80% of his activity, followed by NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). He specializes in procuring turbine engines, fuel control systems, thrust reversers, and flight-critical avionics, demonstrating deep expertise in propulsion technology, mechanical systems integration, and military aviation standards. His technical domain knowledge enables effective evaluation of engineering deliverables and lifecycle support requirements.
