Daniel M Taylor

Daniel M. Taylor serves as a Contract Specialist with the Department of the Air Force at FA2860 316 Cons Pk, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational support systems essential to Joint Base Andrews’ readiness. His portfolio centers on security systems, communications hardware, and facility maintenance services that enable command, control, and communications (C3) capabilities for air operations. Taylor plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely, compliant procurement of technical equipment and integrated services aligned with Air Force sustainment priorities, applying full lifecycle contracting expertise from solicitation through contract administration. He maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS, INC, SENECA MINERAL COMPANY, and PELICAN CHEMICALS INC., partnering with firms that deliver specialized environmental, chemical, and industrial support services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that align with facility-specific operational demands and environmental stewardship requirements. Taylor demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses across all socioeconomic categories, ensuring equitable access to defense contracting while leveraging their agility and innovation in delivering niche services. His procurement focus is concentrated in three NAICS categories: 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing), 811219 (Other Personal Service Activities), and 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers). Though seemingly atypical for an Air Force installation, these codes reflect the agency’s unique need to procure specialized medical and facility support equipment, including diagnostic tools, sanitation systems, and service contracts for on-base health and safety infrastructure. Taylor’s expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with commercial supply chain capabilities in these niche domains.
