Daniel L. Barker

Daniel L. Barker serves as a Contract Administrator for FA4625 509 Cons Cc within the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of facility and mission-enabling acquisitions. He plays a critical role in ensuring operational readiness by overseeing the procurement of infrastructure support services, including construction, maintenance, and logistics-enabling solutions. His portfolio primarily consists of firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts for facility sustainment, site development, and specialized technical services essential to Air Force base operations. Barker works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align acquisition strategies with mission-critical requirements and compliance standards. Barker maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site infrastructure and landscaping, K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC for logistics and equipment transport, N2GRATE GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC for IT and systems support, and AZTEK COMPUTERS, LLC for specialized computing hardware. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in defense-related environments, characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on reliability, compliance, and timely delivery under stringent operational constraints. Barker’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a strategic emphasis on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his contracting patterns demonstrate a results-driven focus on capability, capacity, and performance history over socioeconomic classification, aligning with mission-critical timelines and technical demands. His primary NAICS focus areas are 561730 (Landscaping Services) and 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing), reflecting a specialization in environmental site management and heavy equipment procurement. He routinely acquires services related to grounds maintenance, erosion control, and the procurement of specialized construction machinery, demonstrating deep technical expertise in base infrastructure sustainment and mission-critical asset support.
