Kimberly Daniel Ray

Kimberly Daniel Ray 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. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical environmental services for her agency. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on hazardous waste treatment and disposal services under NAICS 562211, requiring deep technical understanding of environmental remediation standards, regulatory frameworks, and specialized contractor capabilities. She ensures acquisitions align with federal environmental protection mandates and operational needs, often coordinating with technical experts and environmental engineers to define performance-based requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, Kimberly engages with a diverse pool of vendors qualified to handle hazardous material containment, treatment, transportation, and disposal under stringent EPA and DOT regulations. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, clear performance metrics, and rigorous post-award oversight to ensure environmental safety and regulatory adherence. She maintains professional relationships with firms possessing RCRA permits, hazardous waste handling certifications, and experience in compliance reporting and site remediation. Kimberly demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with an equal split between open competitions and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote gender equity in environmental contracting while maintaining competition and capability. Her consistent use of WOSB set-asides signals a strong dedication to expanding opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs in the hazardous waste management sector. Her technical expertise centers entirely on NAICS 562211, where she procures specialized services including chemical stabilization, incineration, landfill disposal, and hazardous material transport. She possesses nuanced knowledge of EPA compliance protocols, manifest tracking systems, and waste classification standards, ensuring that all contracted services meet federal environmental safety benchmarks.
