Daniel J. Rosenstengel

Daniel J. Rosenstengel serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily encompasses technology and research-driven contracts, with a focus on custom software development, systems design, and audiovisual equipment procurement. Rosenstengel works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring acquisitions support innovation and operational readiness. Rosenstengel cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including small businesses, emerging technology providers, and specialized service firms. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of delivering high-quality computer systems design, custom programming, and social science research services. His working style emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and open communication, fostering a procurement environment that encourages both established contractors and new market entrants to compete fairly. Rosenstengel demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. He actively leverages statutory authorities to promote veteran-owned and small business participation, aligning with federal goals to expand economic opportunity. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to balance competition with inclusion, ensuring that disadvantaged businesses have equitable access to federal opportunities. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories 541511, 541512, and 541519, reflecting deep expertise in custom computer programming, systems design, and related IT services. He also routinely procures audio and video equipment under 334310 and supports social science research under 541720. This multidisciplinary focus underscores his ability to manage complex, cross-domain acquisitions that require both technical precision and strategic planning.
