Daniel Jackson

Daniel Jackson serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to preserving and modernizing the nation’s protected lands. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and technical consulting contracts focused on historic preservation, utility system upgrades, and visitor facility enhancements across ecologically sensitive and remote sites. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain resilient infrastructure while adhering to federal contracting regulations and environmental compliance standards. Jackson routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with an emphasis on design-build, construction management, and professional engineering services. He maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in historic restoration, water and sewer infrastructure, and commercial building construction within protected areas. Jackson’s contracting approach prioritizes technical competence, environmental stewardship, and adherence to preservation standards, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance-based outcomes and compliance with NPS design guidelines. His procurement patterns show a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.1% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to broaden contractor diversity and support local economic development in park-adjacent communities. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 237310 (highway, street, and bridge construction) and 541690 (technical consulting), followed by commercial building construction and water/sewer infrastructure. He specializes in procuring services that integrate structural rehabilitation, civil engineering, and masonry restoration, requiring deep domain expertise in historic preservation techniques and sustainable construction practices tailored to federal land management constraints.
