McDaniel serves as Location Administrator for FA9401 377 Msg Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to sustaining aerospace defense operations. Her role centers on managing the procurement lifecycle for construction, facilities, and technical support contracts that enable the modernization of sensor systems, communications networks, and laboratory-grade equipment.
