Clarissa D McDaniel

Clarissa D. McDaniel serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, facilitating timely and legally sound contract actions that support mission-critical operations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses industrial products and specialized consulting services, with a focus on procurement efficiency, risk mitigation, and regulatory adherence. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under both full and open competition and targeted set-asides, ensuring alignment with statutory obligations and strategic sourcing goals. While specific contractor names are not available, McDaniel maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across manufacturing and professional services sectors. Her contracting patterns reflect engagement with both large-capacity industrial suppliers and small business concerns, particularly those capable of delivering technical solutions in chemical manufacturing and logistics consulting. She emphasizes competitive bidding processes, fostering transparency and fairness while encouraging innovation through diverse vendor participation. McDaniel’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly oriented toward full and open competition, with 91.5% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 6.9% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 1.5% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, balancing mission needs with statutory obligations to promote equitable access to federal opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in industrial chemical products. She also regularly procures process and logistics consulting services (NAICS 541614) and facilities support services (NAICS 561210), demonstrating proficiency in both hard goods and professional service acquisitions. Her technical domain expertise spans chemical formulation, supply chain logistics, and operational support services, positioning her as a specialist in complex, technical procurement environments.
