Daniel Lara

Daniel Lara serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4427 60 Cons Lgc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain operational readiness. He specializes in the acquisition of specialized electromedical instruments, surgical supplies, and analytical laboratory systems essential to Air Force medical support and training missions, as well as equipment supporting aerial demonstration programs. His responsibilities encompass full lifecycle contract management—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications for high-reliability medical and technical devices. Lara maintains consistent procurement relationships with CW3RET ENTERPRISE LLC and CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES RESOURCES, INC., both of which serve as primary vendors for precision surgical appliances and specialized medical equipment. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, quality assurance, and timely delivery of mission-essential goods. These relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in manufacturing and delivering FDA-regulated and military-spec medical devices under strict compliance frameworks. His procurement portfolio reflects a 100% focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a strategic emphasis on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified suppliers. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach remains fully compliant with federal small business goals through unrestricted, performance-based contracting. Lara’s core technical focus lies within NAICS 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—where he procures advanced electromedical devices, sterile surgical kits, diagnostic lab systems, and related consumables. His expertise centers on the procurement of Class II and III medical devices requiring rigorous validation, traceability, and adherence to military and FDA standards, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in biomedical procurement and technical specification development.
