Angela Varlow

Angela Varlow serves as a key procurement professional within the FPS East CCG Division 4 Acq Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. She is responsible for managing the acquisition of protective security services and integrated physical security systems to safeguard federal facilities across the eastern region. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to enhance perimeter security and operational resilience through the deployment of armed and unarmed security personnel and advanced surveillance, access control, and alarm systems. Varlow typically oversees task order competitions under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based service standards. She maintains strong, ongoing relationships with primary contractors American Eagle Protective Services Corp and HTI Systems LLC, partnering with them to deliver comprehensive security solutions ranging from personnel services to electronic security system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, quality assurance, and lifecycle management, fostering long-term vendor collaboration while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract execution and deliverables. Varlow’s procurement portfolio reflects a strategic balance between open competition and socioeconomic opportunities, with 75% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions and 25% competed under the 8(a) Business Development Program. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business inclusion, particularly for 8(a)-certified firms, while prioritizing capability and readiness in high-stakes security environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 for security guard and patrol services and NAICS 561621 for security systems services, excluding locksmiths. She specializes in acquiring integrated physical security solutions including CCTV, intrusion detection, biometric access control, and managed security operations, reflecting deep technical expertise in federal facility protection standards and risk-based security procurement practices.
