Danielle Tines

Danielle Tines serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director (NIH-OD), supporting the strategic acquisition of technical services critical to advancing biomedical research. Her role involves facilitating the procurement of specialized software solutions and precision equipment maintenance services that underpin laboratory operations and clinical trial management systems. She works in alignment with NIH-OD’s mission to ensure secure, scalable, and reliable digital infrastructure for scientific innovation, often collaborating with primary contracting officers to align vendor capabilities with research operational needs. Her acquisitions focus on enabling researcher access to analytical instrumentation and secure software platforms, ensuring compliance with federal data integrity and cybersecurity standards. While no primary contractor relationships are currently documented in the procurement record, Tines engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in software publishing and electronic equipment repair, typically working through task order solicitations and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established technical service providers with proven expertise in biomedical environments, fostering partnerships with firms capable of supporting complex, regulated research workflows. Tines’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions open to all eligible competitors. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing performance, compliance, and interoperability in vendor selection. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical merit and service reliability. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and 513210 (Software Publishers), indicating deep engagement with the maintenance of high-precision laboratory instruments and the acquisition of custom or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software for data analysis, clinical trial tracking, and secure research computing environments. Her expertise lies in procuring mission-critical solutions that support NIH’s scientific infrastructure with precision, security, and operational continuity.
