Diamont Daniel

Diamont Daniel-Malsch serves as a key procurement lead within the Kessel Run organization of the Department of the Air Force, driving the acquisition of mission-critical software and digital systems to accelerate air and space combat capabilities. Responsible for managing agile, DevSecOps-aligned contracts, Daniel-Malsch ensures rapid delivery of secure, cloud-native platforms such as the Aerospace Readiness Enterprise System (ARES), aligning procurement with the agency’s mission to modernize command and control through iterative, user-centered development. Their portfolio centers on software engineering, system integration, and digital infrastructure services, with a strong emphasis on commercial best practices and continuous delivery pipelines. Daniel-Malsch maintains a primary contracting relationship with THE BOEING COMPANY, leveraging its enterprise-scale engineering and systems integration capabilities to deliver complex, mission-essential digital solutions. While Boeing remains a dominant partner, the procurement strategy also accommodates a diverse vendor ecosystem, including mid-tier defense contractors and innovative tech firms capable of rapid prototyping and secure cloud deployment. The working relationship is characterized by collaborative, performance-based acquisition approaches that prioritize adaptability, cybersecurity compliance, and interoperability across joint domains. A balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting is evident, with approximately half of all acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through diverse suppliers. While no specific set-aside categories (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) dominate, the consistent 50% small business allocation signals a strategic intent to expand the defense tech base and incentivize agile, niche-capable vendors to compete for high-impact digital missions. The procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541519—Other Computer Related Services—encompassing software development, DevSecOps implementation, cloud migration, cybersecurity integration, and digital platform modernization. Daniel-Malsch’s expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical software services that support real-time air operations, emphasizing scalable architectures, containerized applications, and secure DevSecOps pipelines aligned with DoD cloud standards.
