Adrienne Daise

Adrienne Daise supports the Information Technology Acquisition Center (70RTAC) within the Office of Procurement Operations, playing a pivotal role in advancing the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to modernize critical digital infrastructure and enhance cyber resilience. She manages the acquisition of advanced information technology and cybersecurity services essential to national security operations, with a focus on cloud platforms, network security solutions, and mission-critical data systems. Her work ensures the timely delivery of secure, scalable, and interoperable IT capabilities across federal protective and intelligence systems, aligning procurement activities with strategic modernization goals and risk mitigation priorities. Adrienne collaborates with a broad spectrum of IT service providers specializing in cybersecurity, systems integration, and enterprise software solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing expertise in zero-trust architectures, multi-cloud environments, and automated threat detection systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor evaluation, and compliance with NIST and CISA standards, fostering partnerships built on technical excellence and operational reliability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside mechanisms. This indicates a focus on selecting the most capable and technically qualified vendors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, she maintains compliance with all federal small business goals and may engage qualified small firms when they demonstrate superior technical capability. Adrienne’s primary focus lies within NAICS 541519—Other Computer Related Services—encompassing managed cybersecurity services, systems engineering, IT modernization consulting, and cloud migration support. She procures tailored solutions for identity and access management, secure data analytics, and infrastructure-as-code environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in federal IT modernization frameworks and emerging threat landscapes.
