Danny C Howell

Danny C. Howell serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4484 87 Cons Pk organization, responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of facility support and operational services contracts. His role centers on ensuring mission-critical infrastructure readiness through the acquisition of maintenance, environmental, and logistical services essential to sustaining air base operations. He routinely oversees solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards while aligning acquisitions with Air Force readiness objectives. His portfolio spans non-construction services critical to daily base functionality, with a focus on efficiency and regulatory adherence. Howell maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, qualified vendors capable of delivering specialized services under time-sensitive conditions. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with proven performance histories, suggesting a focus on reliability and continuity rather than frequent vendor rotation. He engages primarily with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in facility operations, waste management, and logistics support. Howell’s contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 12.5% are allocated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without overriding mission needs. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility under the total small business category to maintain competition and flexibility. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services) and 541614 (Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services), each accounting for 25% of activity. Additional emphasis is placed on 562219 (Nonhazardous Waste Treatment), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 511130 (Publishing Services). This reflects a specialized domain expertise in sustaining base infrastructure through environmental compliance, logistical optimization, and facility services rather than construction or engineering.
