Adrienne Daise

Adrienne Daise serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions critical to national security missions, with a primary focus on computer systems design services. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s operational readiness by securing high-integrity systems engineering and cybersecurity solutions that support critical infrastructure and R&D initiatives. Adrienne collaborates with a broad spectrum of federal contractors specializing in systems design, software development, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep expertise in cybersecurity architecture, data analytics platforms, and mission-critical IT modernization. Her working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance oversight, proactive stakeholder coordination, and a commitment to contractual clarity and accountability. She fosters transparent, competitive environments that encourage innovation and technical excellence. Adrienne’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s mission to prioritize technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement decisions are grounded in merit-based evaluation criteria that ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — encompassing the acquisition of custom software development, systems integration, cybersecurity architecture, and enterprise IT modernization. She specializes in procuring services that enhance the resilience of DHS systems, including secure cloud environments, threat detection platforms, and engineering support for critical homeland security technologies.
