Daisy Martinez

Daisy Martinez serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer’s OCP-POD-Acq-Mgmt-Branch at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical digital infrastructure and technical consulting services. Her role is central to modernizing the agency’s operational systems, ensuring that IT modernization initiatives align with federal cybersecurity standards and data-driven policy objectives. She manages a focused portfolio of non-personal services contracts, primarily involving software development, cloud-enabled platforms, and systems integration support, all tailored to sustain the USDA’s agricultural data and analytics capabilities. Martinez maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of contractors, most notably ALPHA OMEGA INTEGRATION LLC and SAMYAK SOLUTIONS, INC., both of which provide specialized IT modernization and systems optimization services. She also engages MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility-related technical support, though the majority of her portfolio centers on information technology. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven experience in federal compliance, agile development methodologies, and secure cloud migration. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic equity in federal contracting, Martinez applies a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside strategy across all her acquisitions, ensuring full compliance with FAR 19.5 and maximizing opportunities for small businesses. Her portfolio excludes large business participation, reflecting a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business community. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep specialization in custom software development, systems analysis, IT consulting, and digital transformation support. She consistently sources services that enhance cybersecurity posture, data interoperability, and mission-critical application resilience, making her a pivotal figure in advancing the USDA’s digital infrastructure through targeted, small business-driven IT acquisitions.
