Daniel Talbert

Dan Talbert serves as the primary point of contact for the Public Building Service under the General Services Administration, facilitating the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure services to sustain and modernize federal facilities nationwide. In this role, he supports the agency’s strategic objectives by managing procurement processes for building systems maintenance, energy efficiency upgrades, and targeted construction projects. Talbert handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 36, primarily focused on commercial and institutional construction, building services, and specialty trade contracting. He works closely with project managers, facility engineers, and acquisition teams to align procurement strategy with operational resilience goals and federal sustainability mandates. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, Talbert maintains active relationships with a broad network of construction firms, building systems specialists, and facility service providers, many of whom are small business certified. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based contracting models that emphasize lifecycle cost efficiency and long-term facility reliability. He routinely engages vendors through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task order competitions to ensure responsive, scalable support across geographically dispersed federal properties. Talbert demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 64% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His portfolio consistently prioritizes small business participation, including HUBZone, 8(a), and woman-owned small businesses, aligning with GSA’s national goals for equitable contracting. The high rate of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster local economic development and increase competition among qualified vendors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), encompassing preventive maintenance, HVAC system upgrades, plumbing, electrical services, and facility modernization. He also oversees niche contracts in specialty trades and building-related services, demonstrating technical fluency in building envelope integrity, energy retrofits, and sustainable facility operations.
