Defense Acquisition Support Services LLC (DAS) is a Woman Owned Small Business located in the Fort Monmouth area. We provide expert
acquisition support to US Army programmatic/contracting organizations. We provide impact acquisition experts, people who can enter an
organization and lead them to contracting successes in weeks and months, not years.  At DAS, we know that it is all about the quality of the
people. We look for and find the very best in our acquisition profession, the kind of people who sell themselves, and who already have a long
reputation of accomplishment and excellence. We are very proud to say that we have 100% completely satisfied customers and employees.

Well everybody wants the same expert people, so how does DAS recruit and keep them?  
The answer is simple, DAS knows who the very best in our business community are and knows what they want and need. DAS offers the
highest share of the bill rate to its employee’s willing to work in a completely accountable consulting relationship. These unique people
willing to work on an hourly basis are the self starting confident class of our workplace community. Not only does the high performing
employee favor this model, this consultant relationship also provides the best results for our customers. Our customers quickly recognize
that our employees are completely motivated to be at work and to provide impact level support to their customer. And bottom line, our
employee’s know and understand our business and billing model and know that they are properly remunerated.  Our employee’s are never
distracted with a thought that perhaps they should be somewhere else.   

How competitive are the DAS rates for their customers?  
Despite the larger than usual reimbursement package for the DAS employee, the overall bill rate to our customers are much lower than our
competitors for comparable education and experience levels. It is the suppression of brick and mortor investments that allows a small
business to operate at low overhead levels and affords them the ability to make a substantial change to the way System Engineering and
Technical Assistance (SETA) contracting can be done.  DAS knows that their customers seeking impact workforce augmentation with
specialized contractor provided acquisition experts, do not need to spend high levels of their budgeted resources on high vendor overhead
rates driven by regional facilities and top heavy corporate management structures. For our customers, it’s not about the buildings and upper
management of the commercial SETA solution, but rather it’s all about the quality and effectiveness of the people we put shoulder to
shoulder with our customer’s workforce in their doors and hallways.

The DAS pledge:
DAS will listen closely and provide customized acquisition personnel recruiting for your organization. DAS understands the unique times we
are in. We know there is a missing middle workforce in the DoD, and that our Army Program Office customers have become increasingly
dependent upon a commercial personnel solution to meet mission requirements. At DAS, we predict that it may take a decade to work
through this current missing middle workforce marketplace reality. At DAS we think that it is a win/win scenario when high performing
recently retired DoD careerists still full of life are willing to work a little longer and provide expert knowledge and even mentoring to our core
Army workforce counterparts.  These hand picked professionals, with expert level acquisition knowledge, who build products and get their
customers on contract and through the Model 5000 programmatic cycle with success, are available through DAS at affordable rates.
