Danny J. Cumpton

Danny J. Cumpton serves as a Contracting Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. In this role, he ensures compliance with FAR regulations and supports the agency’s mission by securing critical goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. His procurement portfolio centers on industrial and manufacturing-related requirements, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications and performance-based contracting. Cumpton routinely handles solicitations under sealed bidding and negotiated procedures, prioritizing efficiency and regulatory integrity in all acquisition actions. While specific contractor names are not available, Cumpton maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small manufacturers, repair service providers, and industrial suppliers. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capacity in specialized manufacturing and maintenance domains, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and compliance. He engages both large and small entities, ensuring fair competition while upholding federal procurement standards. Cumpton demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement strategy actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small businesses, aligning with federal goals to enhance market access. Although no other set-aside categories are currently dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to cultivate a diverse supplier base and promote equitable contracting practices. His primary NAICS focus includes Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing (334210), Truck Trailer Manufacturing (336212), Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair (811310), Carpet and Rug Mills (314110), and Other Metal Container Manufacturing (332439). This specialization reflects deep technical expertise in industrial equipment, transportation infrastructure, and durable goods procurement. Cumpton’s domain knowledge enables him to craft precise statements of work, evaluate technical proposals with rigor, and ensure delivered solutions meet operational and safety standards.
