Vivian Daniels

Vivian D. Daniels serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices aligned with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on management consulting, training, and technical support services, often supporting organizational development and operational efficiency initiatives across federal programs. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for diverse vendor partnerships, including both large-capability firms and small businesses. She engages with a broad spectrum of service providers, fostering competitive environments that balance capability with socioeconomic goals. Her working relationships reflect a focus on performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure value and accountability. Daniels demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with the majority of her awards—86.3%—conducted as full and open competitions without set-asides. However, she consistently leverages small business set-asides, particularly Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, which account for 11.6% of her awards. She also supports Women-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand socioeconomic opportunities within her acquisition portfolio. Her primary industry focus lies in professional services, with significant activity in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), 511130 (Newspaper, Periodical, Book, and Directory Publishers), 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), and 511210 (Software Publishers). She specializes in procuring strategic advisory services, educational and leadership training, and software-related content solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in human capital and organizational performance domains.
