Lisa M. Daniels

Lisa M. Daniels serves as an Events Specialist responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing government-sponsored events that support operational, ceremonial, and outreach objectives. While not a traditional contracting officer, her role is integral to the procurement lifecycle for event-related services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for hospitality, venue management, and logistical support. She typically handles solicitations for temporary staffing, catering, audiovisual equipment, venue rentals, and event production services, working closely with administrative and procurement teams to align expenditures with agency mission needs and budgetary constraints. Daniels maintains consistent working relationships with a broad network of hospitality and event services vendors, including full-service convention centers, caterers, and specialized event management firms. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven experience in federal event execution, particularly those capable of meeting stringent security, accessibility, and reporting requirements. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages vendors with demonstrated capacity to deliver scalable, compliant, and timely event solutions across multiple locations. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open competition, indicating a focus on value, reliability, and service quality over socioeconomic preferences. This approach reflects a mission-driven prioritization of operational continuity and performance over targeted small business set-asides, though she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations. Daniels’ primary procurement focus is on NAICS 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—accounting for 93.1% of her activity, with minor allocations to casino hotels and standalone casinos. Her expertise lies in securing lodging, conference facilities, and related hospitality services for training, stakeholder meetings, and public engagement events, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational demands of federal event logistics within the accommodation sector.
