Shane Oltman

Shane Oltman serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), supporting the agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction through technical acquisition and operational contracting. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on advanced scientific research, threat detection systems, and cybersecurity-enabled analytics, ensuring alignment with national security imperatives. His acquisitions span high-complexity technical services, including custom software development, forensic analysis tools, and specialized engineering support, often requiring stringent compliance with DoD cybersecurity and data integrity standards. Oltman plays a critical role in translating operational needs into executable contract vehicles that enable rapid deployment of emerging capabilities against CBRNE threats. Oltman maintains consistent working relationships with leading technical contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in defense science, systems integration, and cloud-based analytical platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment, and mission-critical innovation, often leveraging Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Other Transaction Authority (OTA) mechanisms to accelerate acquisition timelines. Oltman’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing mission readiness and capability depth over socioeconomic preferences. His primary NAICS focus areas—541990, 541519, and 541511—highlight a strong emphasis on professional scientific services, custom computer programming, and other computer-related services. He frequently procures advanced analytical tools, threat modeling software, secure communications infrastructure, and specialized machinery for CBRNE detection and response, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense science and high-consequence threat mitigation.
