Daniel Miller

Daniel Miller serves as a procurement specialist within the USDA Forest Service’s CSA East 6 office, where he manages acquisitions critical to sustaining national forest ecosystems. His role centers on executing contract actions for forestry support services that directly enable land management, public safety, and recreational infrastructure maintenance. He routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under NAICS 115310, focusing on soil preparation, invasive species control, landscaping, janitorial services, and mobile welding support for remote field operations. Miller ensures all procurements align with federal acquisition regulations and the agency’s mission to restore ecological resilience through efficient, compliant contracting. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including American Classic Construction Inc., Zimmer Plowing LLC, Lewis Mobile Welding LLC, Miller, Shelia D, and Moore & Shryock LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for locally rooted, technically agile vendors capable of delivering responsive, field-based services across rugged terrain. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, operational readiness, and adaptability, often requiring rapid mobilization and seasonal scalability. Miller fosters long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and compliance with federal service standards. Miller demonstrates a firm commitment to socioeconomic equity in contracting, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He prioritizes small businesses with proven expertise in forestry support, ensuring equitable access for firms that may not qualify for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB status but still deliver essential, mission-critical services. His procurement strategy reinforces the Forest Service’s broader goal of empowering local economies through inclusive contracting practices. His technical domain expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), encompassing specialized services such as brush clearing, erosion control, fuel reduction, and equipment maintenance tailored to forested environments. He procures only services directly tied to ecological stewardship, avoiding general commercial procurement, and ensures all contracts reflect the unique operational demands of federal forest lands.
