Marsha Daniels

Marsha Daniels supports the Department of Labor’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) in managing critical procurement activities that enable the agency’s mission to collect, analyze, and disseminate high-quality labor market data. While her official title is not listed, her procurement profile indicates a central role in acquiring professional, scientific, and technical services essential to maintaining the nation’s labor statistics infrastructure. She routinely handles complex acquisitions for research, data systems, and analytical support, ensuring the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other divisions have the tools and expertise needed to inform national economic policy. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on securing specialized capabilities from a broad pool of qualified vendors. The remaining 16.7% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation. She does not appear to prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to foster innovation and capacity building across the market. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541720 (social science and humanities research), 611519 (technical and trade schools), and 334519 (measuring and controlling device manufacturing), with additional activity in 541990 and 519290. This reflects a strong emphasis on labor data collection methodologies, workforce training systems, and specialized instrumentation. She procures services ranging from survey design and statistical modeling to custom software development and data portal management, supporting the agency’s technical and analytical needs in a rapidly evolving data landscape. Her work ensures the Department of Labor maintains scientific rigor and operational efficiency in its core functions.
