Danielle Council

Danielle Council serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4897 366 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain air base operational readiness. Her work centers on securing advanced communications infrastructure, facility construction, and essential maintenance services critical to airfield functionality. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation through performance evaluation—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic modernization goals for tactical radio systems and secure facility operations. Her portfolio emphasizes resilient, mission-essential services that directly support Air Force expeditionary capabilities. Council maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TCG Construction Inc., LDIA Holdings, LLC, C-2 Construction Inc., Asphalt Preservation, LLC, and AES Systems Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized firms capable of delivering complex construction, infrastructure preservation, and communications systems integration. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a pattern of repeat engagement with vendors who have proven technical proficiency in airfield-specific environments, fostering reliable performance and minimizing program risk through established vendor track records. A strong advocate for small business participation, Council prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 25% competitively awarded to 8(a) certified firms. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a diverse supplier base while ensuring compliance with federal mandates to promote economic opportunity and innovation among disadvantaged businesses. Her contracting approach consistently leverages 8(a) programs to access niche capabilities while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), reflecting demand for specialized gas systems used in base operations, alongside significant activity in NAICS 238160 (Roofing Contractors) and 722310 (Food Service Contractors). This combination underscores her expertise in managing both hard infrastructure and essential quality-of-life services critical to sustained air base operations, blending technical construction demands with operational support requirements.
