Dawn M. Daniels

Maj. Dawn M. Daniels serves as a contracting officer within the W075 Endist Sacramento office under the Department of the Army, where she manages acquisition programs critical to sustaining and modernizing military infrastructure across the Western United States. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of installation support services, including facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and land asset management. She specializes in service-based contracts that ensure operational readiness through resilient infrastructure and regulatory adherence, frequently overseeing task orders under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and basic ordering agreements. Maj. Daniels maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, DMZ BUILDERS, FAR WEST CONTRACTORS CORP, and ALEUT CONSTRUCTION LLC, all of which have demonstrated proven capability in installation support and regional construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regional expertise, particularly among firms with established presence in Western U.S. military installations. She prioritizes contractors with proven track records in facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and site development to meet mission-critical readiness requirements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Maj. Daniels consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 75% of her awards reserved for small businesses. She also incorporates Women-Owned Small Business set-asides and aligns acquisitions with federal small business goals, ensuring broad participation from disadvantaged and regionally based vendors. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster competition and capacity-building within the small business community while maintaining high standards of service delivery. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), which together account for over 60% of her portfolio, alongside specialized services in pest control, sewage treatment, and facility management consulting. This reflects deep expertise in installation sustainability, environmental stewardship, and custodial operations essential to Army garrison readiness.
