Darla J. DeAngelis

Darla J. DeAngelis serves as a Contract Negotiator responsible for executing complex procurement actions across a diverse range of industrial and technical domains. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions through strategic negotiation, source selection, and contract administration. Her work supports the procurement of specialized machinery, manufacturing equipment, and industrial maintenance services, often involving multi-phase contracting processes under FAR Part 15. DeAngelis routinely handles competitive and non-competitive acquisitions requiring detailed technical evaluations and cost realism analyses, ensuring value, accountability, and regulatory integrity throughout the lifecycle of each contract. While specific contractor names are not available, DeAngelis maintains consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, mid-tier manufacturers, and specialized service providers in industrial maintenance and aerospace supply chains. Her negotiation patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based contracting approaches, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance, delivery reliability, and regulatory adherence. She actively manages contract modifications, dispute resolution, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor compliance and mission continuity. DeAngelis demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 2.5% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. Her contracting patterns reflect deliberate efforts to expand opportunities for economically disadvantaged firms, with minimal use of other socioeconomic categories such as WOSB or HUBZone, indicating a focused strategy on broad-based small business inclusion rather than niche set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair, NAICS 325510 for paint and coating manufacturing, and NAICS 333515 and 336412 for cutting tools and aircraft engine components. This specialization underscores her technical expertise in industrial maintenance, precision manufacturing, and aerospace supply systems, where she ensures acquisitions align with operational readiness and technical specifications critical to national infrastructure and defense support functions.
