Daniel Walker

Daniel Walker supports the Bureau of Reclamation’s Pacific Northwest Region in managing critical infrastructure procurement for water resource projects, including dams, canals, hydropower facilities, and shoreline protections. Though his official title is not listed, his procurement activities center on civil works and engineering services essential to maintaining federal water infrastructure reliability and environmental compliance. He handles a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning construction, environmental engineering, and technical services, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and regional operational priorities. Walker maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, DJ&A, P.C., Inter-Fluve, Inc., and Hoopoe Labs Inc., reflecting a balanced mix of civil construction, environmental consulting, and specialized technology services. His contracting patterns indicate collaboration with firms experienced in hydraulic modeling, ecological restoration, and digital infrastructure solutions, suggesting a preference for vendors with proven technical expertise in water resource engineering and site-specific compliance. A strong emphasis on small business participation is evident, with 60% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the high volume of small business awards signals active outreach and support for disadvantaged and local vendors in the Pacific Northwest. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing) and 212319 (crushed stone mining), alongside 541512 (computer systems design) and 332911 (industrial valve manufacturing), revealing a unique blend of civil construction needs and advanced technical systems. This suggests expertise in procuring both traditional infrastructure components—such as control valves and aggregate materials—and modern digital solutions for monitoring, automation, and environmental data collection within federal water projects.
