Aaron Sims

Aaron Sims serves as the Alternate Point of Contact for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, supporting the agency’s mission to secure national borders through efficient and mission-driven procurement. In this role, he facilitates the acquisition of critical operational assets, including field equipment, technical systems, and infrastructure support services essential to frontline personnel. He works closely with primary contracting officers to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligns procurements with CBP’s strategic priorities in operational readiness, personnel safety, and technology modernization. His responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, managing vendor communications, and ensuring timely execution of time-sensitive acquisitions across diverse operational environments. Sims collaborates regularly with key contractors including Deployed Resources LLC, Loyal Source Government Services LLC, PAE Aviation and Technical Services LLC, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., and Accenture Federal Services LLC. These partnerships span logistics support, aviation services, unmanned systems, and mission-critical IT modernization. His working relationships reflect a preference for established federal contractors with proven track records in high-stakes, field-deployable environments, often involving complex technical requirements and rapid deployment timelines. Sims demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of all acquisitions structured as small business set-asides. This consistent focus on SB set-asides underscores his dedication to expanding economic opportunity within the federal contracting ecosystem while maintaining operational effectiveness. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to integrate qualified small businesses into CBP’s supply chain, particularly those capable of delivering specialized services in security, logistics, and technical support. While specific NAICS codes are not available, the acquisitions he supports primarily involve technical services, aviation and aerospace support, facility sustainment, and field operations infrastructure. His expertise lies in procuring mission-enabling solutions that enhance border security capabilities, including surveillance systems, protective gear, and integrated command and control platforms tailored to dynamic operational needs.
