Justin C. Dalton

Justin C. Dalton serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced technology and engineering domains. He plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by overseeing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for specialized equipment and technical services. His portfolio primarily encompasses communications systems, aerospace components, and engineering support solutions, requiring deep familiarity with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) compliance, technical requirements development, and source selection procedures. Dalton’s work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract performance and vendor accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Dalton’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including both large primes and small businesses capable of delivering high-precision manufacturing and engineering services. His working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in aerospace systems, wireless communications, and specialized electronics manufacturing. He fosters collaborative partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate capacity for rapid prototyping, compliance with defense-grade standards, and agile response to evolving technical specifications. Dalton’s contracting approach is heavily weighted toward open competition, with 88.5% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. However, he maintains a deliberate and consistent commitment to small business participation, allocating 11.5% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses to contribute to national technical capabilities, without reliance on other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811219 (Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance), which suggests significant activity in maintenance and sustainment of specialized equipment. He also frequently procures products and services under NAICS 336413, 334290, and 334220, indicating expertise in aviation subsystems, communications hardware, and wireless transmission systems. Engineering services under NAICS 541330 further underscore his technical acumen in systems integration and design support across defense and aerospace domains.
