Dorothy Dailey

Dorothy Dailey serves as a Contract Specialist at U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of expeditionary logistics and transportation services. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting air, sea, and multimodal freight movements essential to military deployment and sustainment operations. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex, performance-based solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on ensuring seamless port and terminal operations, rapid response capabilities, and global supply chain resilience. Dailey’s expertise lies in structuring contracts that align with Defense Logistics Agency standards and Department of Defense mobility requirements. Dailey maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These contractors provide critical deep-sea freight transportation, chartered air cargo, and expeditionary logistics support under long-term, performance-driven agreements. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, operational flexibility, and compliance with international shipping regulations, fostering strategic partnerships that enable responsive and scalable global mobility solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-asides, while 33.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, Dailey actively promotes small business participation through competitive set-asides that prioritize qualified small entities capable of delivering complex transportation services. Dailey’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), reflecting her specialization in oceanborne logistics for military cargo. She procures heavy-lift vessel services, containerized freight movement, port terminal handling, and intermodal coordination services essential to sustaining global theater operations. Her technical domain expertise centers on maritime supply chain integrity, cargo security protocols, and compliance with international maritime law and DoD transportation directives.
