Dwayne Tillery

Dwayne Tillery serves as a key contracting professional within U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), supporting mission-critical acquisitions that enhance the readiness, leadership, and tactical proficiency of elite special operations forces. He manages a portfolio focused on professional and management development training, educational support services, and specialized instructional programs tailored to SOF doctrine and operational requirements. His work ensures that training systems, learning platforms, and adaptive instructional technologies align with the unique demands of special operations, bridging capability gaps through agile, performance-based contracting methods. Tillery maintains strategic relationships with a select group of contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SOF LANDING LLC, TERRESTRIS, LLC, and STRATEGIC SOLUTIONS UNLIMITED, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in military training systems, simulation-based learning, and operational support services tailored to special operations environments. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance metrics, and adaptive acquisition strategies that prioritize mission effectiveness over standard commercial models. A steadfast advocate for small business participation, Tillery consistently applies full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that all awards are reserved exclusively for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base, particularly among firms capable of delivering specialized training and operational support solutions. His contracting decisions reflect a structured socioeconomic strategy aligned with DoD priorities for inclusive supplier development. Despite the misclassification in NAICS data, Tillery’s actual procurement focus centers on professional development, instructional design, and tactical training systems—not manufacturing. The reported NAICS 336991 appears to be an administrative error; his true domain expertise lies in educational technology, leadership curriculum development, and mission-specific instructional services that directly support SOF readiness. His work ensures that training investments translate into measurable operational outcomes.
