Delan Associates

What Delan Associates does

Delan Associates, Inc. (DAI) is a U.S. federal professional services contractor founded in 2002 by Michael Chung and headquartered in Freeport, New York. The firm delivers engineering, training, and management-support services to U.S. government customers — primarily the Department of Defense (Army, USSOCOM, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Southern Command, U.S. Army I2WD) and the Department of Energy (Brookhaven, Savannah River, and Kesselring national laboratories), with additional work for DHS/FEMA, FHWA, and NYC municipal agencies. Its service lines span systems, electronic, mechanical, and software engineering; SIPR/NIPR network design and implementation; modeling-and-simulation prototyping and fabrication; instructor-led training and courseware development using SAT/ADDIE methodologies; and acquisition, logistics, and facilities management. DAI is certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business (DUNS #131-707-031) and is an SBA 8(a) program graduate, credentials that materially shape its addressable opportunity set.

DAI operates through a portfolio of prime IDIQ contract vehicles — including SOF Core Support (USSOCOM), HCaTs-SB (OPM/GSA), Brookhaven National Labs BOA, Seaport-NxG (Navy), eFAST (FAA), and GSA-MAS — and supplements prime work with subcontract roles alongside major defense primes (Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI, Boeing, General Dynamics, L3 Communications, Lockheed Martin, NCI, and MPRI). Revenue mechanics rely on task orders against those vehicles, typically time-and-materials or fixed-price professional services engagements, with execution supported by offices in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and operational presences in New York State, Georgia, Florida, Jordan, and Kazakhstan. The leadership team is founder-led with a small named executive bench (Program Manager Michael Shawn and Contracts Manager/Administrator Charmaine Black supporting the HCaTS vehicle); no outside investors, board, or parent entity are disclosed in available materials.
