Darrell L. Strahan

Darrell L. Strahan serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by executing timely, transparent, and legally sound procurement actions. His portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense, mission-support services and miscellaneous manufacturing solutions, with a focus on achieving efficient outcomes while maintaining rigorous oversight and accountability. Strahan cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including small businesses and general contractors delivering specialized support services. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with firms capable of providing technical, logistical, and operational support across multiple sectors. His working relationships are characterized by a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a strong emphasis on fair and equitable contracting practices. His set-aside preferences reflect a targeted but limited commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 83.3% of his acquisitions conducted as unrestricted procurements and 16.7% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern indicates a strategic balance between maximizing competition and intentionally creating opportunities for small businesses, without relying heavily on specialized set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Strahan’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to air transportation support services, miscellaneous manufacturing, and general government support. He frequently acquires services such as ground handling, facility maintenance, and specialized logistics support, as well as niche manufactured components and technical training solutions. His expertise lies in managing complex, low-volume procurements requiring precise technical specifications and performance-based outcomes, particularly in aviation logistics and administrative support domains.
