Danielle Farmer

Danielle C. Farmer serves as a SK2 Purchasing Agent at U.S. Coast Guard Base Alameda (70Z031), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize maritime infrastructure across the Pacific region. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and operational readiness projects, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and Coast Guard strategic priorities. She routinely handles simplified acquisitions and task orders under GSA schedules and IDIQ contracts, focusing on construction, facility services, and logistical support to maintain safe, resilient, and compliant installations. Farmer cultivates strong working relationships with a diverse pool of specialty trade contractors and service providers, particularly those experienced in facility rehabilitation and environmental remediation. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with small, regionally based vendors capable of delivering high-quality, timely services under tight operational timelines. She emphasizes responsive vendor engagement and performance accountability, fostering long-term partnerships that support sustained mission readiness. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Farmer consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 80% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally owned firms, aligning with Coast Guard and DHS goals to strengthen community-based economic resilience through federal spending. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238110 (concrete foundation work), 238330 (flooring), and 238990 (other specialty trade contractors), reflecting a technical emphasis on facility infrastructure upgrades. She also regularly procures janitorial services (561720) and household goods moving (484210) to support personnel relocation and facility operations. This blend of construction and service contracting underscores her expertise in integrated facility sustainment, balancing structural integrity with daily operational needs in a high-regulation, mission-critical environment.
