Daisy Joseph

Daisy Joseph serves as a Contracting Officer for Region 6: Emergency Preparedness A within the Federal Emergency Management Agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to disaster response and recovery operations, including the acquisition of temporary infrastructure, logistical support systems, and essential services for impacted communities. Her portfolio emphasizes rapid-deployment solutions such as sanitation facilities, emergency shelter components, and mobile service units, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness in high-risk regions. She executes contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, balancing urgency with compliance to ensure timely and lawful acquisition outcomes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Daisy Joseph maintains a procurement environment that prioritizes agility and scalability, engaging with a broad base of specialty trade contractors, management consultants, and logistics providers capable of mobilizing under dynamic emergency conditions. Her working relationships are characterized by responsiveness to urgent operational needs, often requiring flexible contract vehicles such as IDIQs and time-and-materials arrangements to meet mission-critical timelines. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 92% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a preference for broad market participation. However, she consistently supports small business involvement, allocating 6% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 2% to Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, demonstrating a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational speed. Daisy’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236118 (Residential Remodelers) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting a high demand for modular construction and emergency infrastructure retrofitting. She also regularly procures administrative management consulting services (NAICS 541611) and inland water freight transportation (NAICS 483211), underscoring expertise in integrated logistics and community-level recovery operations. Her technical domain spans emergency housing, sanitation systems, and temporary facility deployment, making her a key steward of mission-critical acquisition in high-stakes environments.
