David Daniel serves as a key procurement lead within Federal Prison Industries / Unicor, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through the acquisition of goods and services that align with federal operational needs. He manages a portfolio of non-manufacturing contracts focused on professional services, ensuring compliance with statutory mandates that prioritize inmate labor for production while outsourcing ancillary support functions. His acquisitions typically involve consulting, environmental services, and advertising distribution, all aligned with the agency’s goal of cost-effective, mission-driven procurement that reinforces rehabilitation through industry. David maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of certified small business contractors, including Veterans Range Solutions, LLC, Veterans Environmental Group, LLC, and Blind Industries and Services of Maryland. These partnerships reflect a strategic preference for vendor organizations with demonstrated expertise in serving federal agencies and a commitment to workforce inclusion—particularly those owned by veterans, individuals with disabilities, or other socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and alignment with Unicor’s operational rhythm. He exclusively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of his procurements are reserved for small businesses, with no open competition. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and the empowerment of underrepresented business owners within the federal supply chain. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), and 541870 (Advertising Material Distribution Services), demonstrating specialized expertise in securing professional services that support federal facility operations, regulatory compliance, and internal communications. His domain knowledge includes environmental remediation planning, organizational efficiency consulting, and targeted outreach campaigns—services critical to sustaining Unicor’s operational infrastructure while advancing its rehabilitative mission.
