Daniel A Payne (Contractor)

Daniel Payne serves as a Contract Specialist within the Network Contract Office 19 (36C259) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to sustain and modernize VA medical facilities. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of construction and facility infrastructure contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the VA’s mission to deliver high-quality healthcare environments for veterans. Payne primarily handles complex commercial and institutional building construction contracts, as well as specialized electrical and wiring installation services, supporting the operational integrity of VA medical centers through timely, compliant, and mission-driven procurements. He maintains established working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and ALL AMERICAN EXPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC, among others, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability and technical proficiency, often engaging contractors with proven experience in healthcare facility upgrades, utility system modernization, and electromedical infrastructure support. Payne demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over one-third of his awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting a deliberate alignment with VA’s veteran-centric procurement priorities. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, his consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a strategic focus on empowering veteran-owned enterprises within the federal construction and facility services sector. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where he manages complex projects involving structural upgrades, HVAC integration, and building system enhancements, supplemented by NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors) for critical wiring and power infrastructure work. Payne’s domain knowledge ensures that all procurements meet the rigorous safety, accessibility, and operational standards required in federal healthcare facilities.
