Daphney Minter

Daphney Minter serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts, with a strong emphasis on facility maintenance and architectural design services, supporting infrastructure modernization and operational readiness across government facilities. Minter works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with mission objectives, ensuring acquisitions meet both fiscal and performance benchmarks. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Minter routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors capable of delivering parking facility operations, maintenance, and architectural design services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open market opportunities, while maintaining structured engagement with qualified small business concerns. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in clear performance expectations and regulatory compliance, promoting accountability and value-driven outcomes. Minter demonstrates a notable commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement approach prioritizes socioeconomic goals by channeling opportunities to small businesses without relying on more restrictive set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This balanced strategy supports broader market access while maintaining competition and efficiency in the acquisition process. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services). She regularly manages contracts for parking infrastructure maintenance, surface rehabilitation, lighting and signage upgrades, as well as design and planning services for public facilities. This technical domain expertise enables her to effectively evaluate proposals, assess contractor qualifications, and ensure deliverables meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and sustainability.
