Dana M. Badger

Dana L. Badger serves as a Purchasing Agent for the General Services Administration’s Public Buildings Service, R9 Sacramento Field Office, where she manages the acquisition of facility services and infrastructure support critical to maintaining federal building integrity and operational readiness. Her role centers on executing compliant, efficient procurements that align with GSA’s mission to ensure safe, secure, and sustainable federal facilities. Badger routinely handles construction, maintenance, and facility support contracts, coordinating with engineers, facility managers, and program officers to translate technical requirements into solicitation documents under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures. Badger cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, electrical systems, janitorial services, and landscaping. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages both large general contractors and specialized small businesses with proven track records in federal facility maintenance. Her procurement approach emphasizes responsiveness, quality assurance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. A strong advocate for small business inclusion, Badger applies a balanced set-aside strategy, with half of her acquisitions reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This pattern reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, regularly directing opportunities to small businesses certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB programs, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting resources. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for over 60% of her activity, followed by 238210 (Electrical Contractors), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 561730 (Landscaping Services). This specialization underscores her technical expertise in facility lifecycle management, including capital improvements, systems upgrades, and ongoing custodial and grounds maintenance essential to federal building operations.
