Daryl E. Hawkins serves as a Contract Specialist within the Office of Internal Acquisition under the General Services Administration’s Office of Administrative Services, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support the modernization of federal administrative infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional services and technology-enabled solutions, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific sourcing strategies. Hawkins specializes in procuring consulting services, digital transformation tools, and operational support systems that enhance internal government efficiency, with a focus on streamlining administrative workflows and enabling seamless access to computing platforms and software solutions. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Hawkins maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning professional services firms, IT consultants, and administrative support providers. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and structured evaluation criteria to ensure value and accountability across awarded contracts. He routinely engages with both large and small vendors to meet the agency’s operational needs while fostering competitive bidding environments. Hawkins demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 90.9% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating 9.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals without reliance on specialized programs such as 8(a) or HUBZone. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), reflecting support for federal travel and lodging services, and NAICS 541990 (other professional services), which encompasses strategic consulting and operational support. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 541519 (other computer-related services) and 541611 (management consulting), demonstrating expertise in technology-enabled administrative modernization and process optimization across federal internal operations.
