Daniel Jolly

Daniel Jolly serves as a Contracting Officer for the National Cemetery Administration within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support the stewardship of national cemeteries. His role centers on acquiring essential services that ensure the perpetual care, maintenance, and operational integrity of burial grounds, monuments, and infrastructure. Jolly primarily handles service-based acquisitions under the Janitorial Services NAICS code, with a focus on groundskeeping, landscaping, facility maintenance, and site development contracts critical to preserving the dignity and sanctity of veterans’ final resting places. Jolly maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, LAUBACKER ENTERPRISES, INC., and HAMILTON PACIFIC CHAMBERLAIN LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in cemetery infrastructure, horticultural maintenance, and site-specific construction. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, long-term performance, and adherence to the unique environmental and historical standards required at national cemeteries, fostering collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships. Jolly exhibits a strong and unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This deliberate strategy aligns with the VA’s mission to honor veterans through employment and economic opportunity, ensuring that contracts supporting cemetery operations directly benefit those who served. His procurement patterns reflect a deep institutional dedication to advancing veteran-owned enterprise within federal contracting. His technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), encompassing a broad range of custodial, grounds maintenance, and environmental stewardship services essential to cemetery operations. Jolly’s domain knowledge includes landscape preservation, monument care, irrigation systems, and infrastructure upkeep—all tailored to meet the solemn, high-standard requirements of national cemeteries.
