Daniel Speed

Daniel Speed serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4608 2 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure services essential to sustaining Air Force installation readiness. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, security systems integration, and communications infrastructure, ensuring operational continuity across hangars, airfields, and support facilities. He executes full-cycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—primarily under service-based contracts that support long-term operational resilience. His work directly enables the Air Force’s mandate to maintain secure, reliable, and mission-ready environments through timely and compliant procurement practices. Daniel consistently collaborates with a focused group of contractors, including UNITED POOL MAINTENANCE LLC, WHITEDS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., CALEB CRUCIAN, HALLIDAY TECHNOLOGIES INC, and ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC, reflecting a preference for specialized, niche-capable vendors with proven expertise in facility services, environmental compliance, and language support. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency in installation-specific requirements, often resulting in repeat engagements and task order-based work under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. These relationships are cultivated through rigorous performance evaluations and a focus on contractor reliability in high-stakes operational settings. Daniel maintains a strict 100% preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides across all his procurements, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He actively prioritizes small business participation by structuring solicitations to maximize eligibility and accessibility for SDVOSB firms, ensuring compliance with federal mandates while fostering a robust pipeline of capable veteran-owned contractors. His contracting approach reinforces the Air Force’s dedication to equitable opportunity and veteran economic empowerment. His technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—where he procures specialized electrical systems, lighting, power distribution, and low-voltage wiring installations critical to facility functionality and safety. His domain expertise lies in mission-critical electrical infrastructure, including redundant power systems, emergency backup circuits, and integrated security wiring, requiring deep understanding of military standards and NFPA codes.
