Access Lifecycle Management (ALM) Support

Access Lifecycle Management (ALM) Support serves as a key operational lead within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, overseeing the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical support services essential to national security readiness. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirement validation and solicitation to award and administration—this role ensures alignment with DHS mission objectives in cybersecurity, systems engineering, and research and development. The individual specializes in procuring non-clinical, mission-critical support services that sustain the integrity of federal infrastructure and enable operational continuity across high-priority programs. Contractor relationships are broad and diverse, encompassing a wide array of firms providing comprehensive support services, including IT infrastructure management, program management consulting, logistics coordination, and technical documentation. While no single vendor dominates the portfolio, the contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, competitive bidding, and vendor accountability under performance work statements. Partnerships are structured to ensure scalability, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and adaptability to evolving threat landscapes. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions, reflecting a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition and technical capability over socioeconomic targeting. This approach ensures the widest possible pool of qualified providers can compete for task orders, prioritizing mission effectiveness and value over certification-based preferences. The primary procurement focus is under NAICS 561990, All Other Support Services, encompassing a broad spectrum of administrative, technical, and operational support functions. These include cybersecurity support, systems integration assistance, documentation and training services, and engineering support functions critical to maintaining the resilience of DHS systems and networks. The technical domain expertise centers on enterprise-level service delivery that underpins secure, scalable, and mission-critical federal operations.
