Jaime A. Daniels

Jaime A. Perales serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. In this role, Perales ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives for health and technical services. Their portfolio primarily encompasses complex service-based contracts requiring technical evaluation and vendor performance oversight, with a strong emphasis on medical and laboratory support services. Perales plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into solicitations that attract qualified vendors while maintaining transparency, fairness, and regulatory integrity. Perales collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in medical instrumentation, laboratory testing, and document services. While no single vendor dominates the award profile, the contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with mid-tier and small business suppliers capable of delivering specialized technical services. Working relationships are characterized by a focus on capability-based selection, with an emphasis on vendors demonstrating quality assurance protocols, regulatory compliance, and scalable service delivery models. Perales maintains an open and competitive acquisition environment, fostering vendor engagement through clear solicitation language and responsive pre-award outreach. Perales demonstrates a clear preference for small business participation, with over one-third of acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are currently predominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate commitment to expanding socioeconomic opportunities. This pattern reflects a strategic alignment with federal goals to increase small business contracting, prioritizing market access for qualified small entities without reliance on targeted socioeconomic programs. The primary NAICS focus areas include Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112), Medical Laboratories (621511), and Testing Laboratories and Services (541380), underscoring expertise in procuring diagnostic equipment, clinical testing infrastructure, and analytical services. Additional activity in Document Preparation Services (561410) and unclassified support services (811219) highlights a broad operational scope supporting health administration and technical documentation. Perales brings specialized knowledge in regulatory-compliant procurement for high-stakes medical and laboratory environments, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent quality and safety standards.
