Danielle V Lloyd

Danielle V. Lloyd serves as a Contract Specialist with the Military Sealift Command (MSC), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that sustain the Department of Defense’s global maritime logistics infrastructure. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation development to award and closeout—she supports MSC’s mission to deliver strategic sealift, afloat support, and ocean transportation services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional and technical services critical to naval operational readiness, with a strong emphasis on engineering, technical advisory, and specialized logistics support contracts. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Lloyd routinely engages with a diverse range of vendors, including large defense contractors, engineering firms, and professional service providers capable of delivering technical expertise in maritime systems, vessel maintenance, and operational support. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced reliance on both commercial and government-unique solutions, fostering partnerships with firms that possess specialized domain knowledge in naval logistics and marine engineering. Lloyd’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently allocates 20% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation across the MSC supply base. Her approach prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion without compromising mission-critical requirements, ensuring qualified small businesses have equitable access to high-value service contracts. Her primary NAICS focus lies in Engineering Services (541330), reflecting her specialization in technical support for vessel systems, navigation, and fleet sustainment. She also procures services under related categories including professional scientific and technical services (541990), accounting services (541211), and petroleum product manufacturing (324191), underscoring her broad expertise in supporting the multifaceted operational and maintenance needs of MSC’s mixed fleet of government-owned and chartered vessels.
