Danita Douglas

Danita Douglas serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering essential goods and services through transparent, competitive, and legally sound procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses office furniture and educational support services, requiring nuanced understanding of both commercial item acquisition procedures and performance-based contracting methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, Danita maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-capacity vendors and small business concerns, fostering a competitive marketplace. Her working relationships emphasize fairness, responsiveness, and adherence to socioeconomic goals, encouraging broad vendor participation through clear communication and accessible solicitation practices. She is known for cultivating partnerships with firms capable of meeting precise technical specifications while maintaining cost-effectiveness and delivery timelines. Danita demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses. The remaining half are open to all competitors under no set-aside conditions, ensuring broad competition where appropriate. Her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores her dedication to advancing socioeconomic contracting objectives and expanding the federal supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337211 (Wood Office Furniture Manufacturing) and NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services). She regularly acquires ergonomic office furnishings, cabinetry, and related furnishings for federal workspaces, as well as curriculum development, tutoring support, and administrative services for educational programs. Her expertise spans both physical product procurement and service-based contracts, requiring familiarity with performance work statements, quality assurance surveillance plans, and delivery order management under blanket purchase agreements.
