Case Study: Transforming DoD Contract Writing

Challenge:
DISA’s legacy contracting tools were fragmented and outdated, limiting efficiency and oversight.

Solution:
As the Program Manager for the Integrated Defense Enterprise Acquisition System (IDEAS), Dale Shelton led the replacement of multiple legacy applications with a single, low‑code system built on Appian.

Impact:

  • Successfully fielded IDEAS as DISA’s enterprise contract writing system.
  • Partnered with the Air Force to customize IDEAS into CON‑IT, now deployed across the USAF.
  • Scaled across DoD and beyond: CON‑IT has since become the enterprise contract writing system for the DoD and other agencies, including NASA.

This effort modernized federal contracting processes, set a new standard for enterprise acquisition systems, and demonstrated Shelton Technical Services’ ability to deliver high‑impact results.
