While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his consistent reliance on proven vendors reflects a preference for reliability, scalability, and compliance with FedRAMP and NIST guidelines. Dallis’s contracting patterns reflect a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-aside restrictions.
