Daniel Derry

Daniel J. Derry serves as a key procurement lead within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and optimize enterprise-wide administrative operations. In this role, he manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility maintenance, infrastructure support, and specialized services critical to sustaining DoD headquarters functions. His procurement activities center on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing operational efficiency through strategic sourcing and contract execution. Derry routinely handles service-based contracts requiring high standards of quality control, regulatory adherence, and mission-critical delivery timelines. Derry maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in institutional support services, facility modernization, and enterprise consulting. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and compliance with DoD standards for service delivery. He prioritizes contractors capable of integrating seamlessly into complex federal environments while maintaining rigorous accountability frameworks. Derry demonstrates a strong, unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses across all socioeconomic categories, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. His contracting approach actively fosters competition among qualified small firms, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities while strengthening the resilience of the defense industrial base. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 333112—Lawn and Garden Tractor and Home Lawn and Garden Equipment Manufacturing—indicating a specialized requirement for specialized grounds maintenance equipment and related support services within DoD headquarters facilities. This unique specialization underscores his expertise in procuring highly specific, mission-critical equipment for institutional landscaping and environmental stewardship, requiring deep technical knowledge of federal specifications and maintenance standards.
