Yvette M. Daltorio

Yvette M. Daltorio serves as a Procurement Specialist within the W6QK Acc Ccdc Sttc under the Department of the Army, where she manages complex acquisitions supporting advanced scientific and engineering capabilities critical to national defense. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for high-precision analytical instrumentation, engineering services, and specialized equipment used in immersive training and physical sciences research. Daltorio plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s mission to enhance military readiness through cutting-edge R&D infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while prioritizing technical performance and mission suitability. Her primary contractor relationships center on Northwestern University, a leading academic research institution with deep expertise in analytical instrumentation development and engineering solutions for defense applications. Daltorio maintains a consistent, long-term partnership with this entity, leveraging its capabilities in advanced laboratory systems and mission-critical simulation technologies. While her portfolio is dominated by large research institutions, she also engages with specialized manufacturers and engineering firms to meet niche technical requirements, fostering collaborative procurement models that emphasize innovation and technical rigor. Daltorio’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the acquisitions she manages, where technical expertise and proven performance outweigh socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not a primary focus of her current portfolio, her approach remains compliant with all federal requirements and is driven by mission necessity rather than socioeconomic preference. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), accounting for 60% of her activity, followed by 541330 (Engineering Services) and 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring mass spectrometers, spectroscopic systems, calibration standards, and custom-engineered test platforms used in defense-relevant physical science research and immersive training environments. Her technical domain expertise lies in the intersection of laboratory instrumentation, systems engineering, and mission-specific equipment integration.
