Amy Dallaire

Amy Dallaire serves as a key procurement professional within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical security technologies for aviation and transit systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced detection systems, cybersecurity services, and operational support solutions, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and DHS strategic priorities. She routinely handles complex solicitations for specialized equipment such as explosive detection systems, irradiation apparatus, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring technologies, balancing technical rigor with compliance and mission readiness. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Dallaire maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors with expertise in defense-grade sensor integration and cybersecurity service providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection under FAR Part 15, fostering collaborative partnerships with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions. Dallaire demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes small business participation, aligning with DHS goals to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and other socioeconomically disadvantaged entities, though no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), reflecting a significant need for workforce development, training, and organizational support services to sustain TSA’s security operations. A secondary focus on NAICS 511130 indicates engagement with software publishing and digital content solutions, underscoring her technical expertise in procurement domains supporting both human capital and information technology infrastructure for national transportation security.
