Daniel Weingarten

Daniel Weingarten serves as a procurement professional within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he supports mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize the agency’s digital infrastructure and administrative operations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of professional and technical service contracts, with a primary focus on human resources consulting, workforce development, and specialized technical services that enhance operational efficiency. He plays a key role in aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s priorities in digital transformation and workforce modernization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Weingarten collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including professional services firms, technical consultants, and niche service providers delivering specialized support in HR systems, operational logistics, and administrative modernization. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven expertise in federal compliance and scalable delivery models. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and structured contract administration to ensure accountability and mission alignment. His procurement approach prioritizes broad competition, with 91.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a commitment to open market access. However, he consistently reserves 8.3% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising mission requirements or competitive rigor. Weingarten’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), where he procures talent management, organizational development, and workforce analytics solutions. He also regularly acquires services under NAICS 334511, 531320, and 812990, indicating expertise in specialized technical instrumentation, real estate advisory, and niche personal services. His domain knowledge spans federal HR modernization, administrative support systems, and mission-enabling professional services critical to DHS operational readiness.
