Danielle Howard

Danielle Howard serves as a Procurement Analyst II within the Facilities Agency of Washington County, Oregon, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services essential to maintaining public facilities. In this secondary procurement role, she assists in the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts for building systems, maintenance services, and facility upgrades. Her work ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize aging infrastructure, enhance environmental compliance, and uphold public safety through efficient, compliant procurement practices. She typically handles complex, multi-disciplinary acquisitions requiring coordination between engineering, operations, and finance teams to meet technical and regulatory standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Danielle engages with a broad spectrum of vendors including electrical contractors, HVAC suppliers, and precision equipment repair specialists. Her procurement activities involve evaluating bids from both large-capacity contractors and local service providers, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with state and federal procurement codes. She works collaboratively with agency engineers and project managers to define scope, assess vendor qualifications, and ensure contract deliverables meet facility operational requirements. Danielle’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under general competition. This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains attentive to small business participation when it aligns with technical needs. Her approach emphasizes value, reliability, and compliance over mandated preferences, ensuring taxpayer resources are allocated based on objective criteria and performance outcomes. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 (electrical installation), 624210 (community food services support), 423730 (HVAC equipment wholesale), and 811210 (electronic repair services). These reflect the agency’s need for building systems maintenance, facility support services, and specialized equipment procurement. Danielle brings technical fluency in facility operations, energy systems, and maintenance logistics, enabling her to effectively translate operational needs into clear, enforceable contract requirements.
