Daniel J Tarapacki

Daniel J. Tarapacki serves as a Senior Government Services Officer (S/GSO), overseeing the acquisition and management of facility support services critical to operational readiness and mission sustainability. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contracting strategies with agency-wide operational priorities. His portfolio primarily consists of service-based acquisitions, particularly in cleaning and grounds maintenance, where he leverages performance-based contracting methods to drive accountability and efficiency. Tarapacki is responsible for developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality custodial and landscaping services across federal installations. Tarapacki maintains a broad and competitive contractor base, engaging both large service providers and small businesses capable of delivering nationwide or regional facility support. His procurement approach emphasizes open competition, vendor performance metrics, and contract compliance monitoring. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently fosters relationships with firms experienced in federal facility services, prioritizing those with proven track records in quality assurance, safety protocols, and environmental stewardship. Tarapacki’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a focus on full and open competition as the primary mechanism to achieve best value, rather than targeting specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach underscores a commitment to merit-based selection while still permitting small businesses to compete on equal footing. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), where he specializes in contract vehicles for routine, recurring facility maintenance. He has developed deep expertise in performance work statements, labor compliance standards, and service-level agreements that ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes in custodial and outdoor environmental management.
