Brittney Larimore

Brittney Larimore serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), supporting the agency’s mission to secure the nation’s defense industrial base through personnel vetting and cybersecurity infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on background investigation services, secure computing environments, and identity verification solutions. Her work directly enables the timely clearance of personnel and the protection of sensitive government systems, aligning with DCSA’s strategic priorities to modernize investigative workflows and enhance digital security. Larimore typically handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under FAR Part 16, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcomes-driven requirements. She maintains consistent relationships with leading contractors including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC, partnering with firms specializing in biometric identification, data processing, and secure cloud infrastructure. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for established providers with proven capabilities in high-assurance environments, often requiring FISMA compliance, FedRAMP authorization, and NIST 800-53 controls. Larimore’s procurement approach prioritizes technical rigor, supply chain integrity, and continuous service delivery. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, approximately 20% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in critical national security domains. She actively encourages participation from small businesses with expertise in cybersecurity, data analytics, and background investigation support, though no specific socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone dominate her portfolio. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561611 (investigation and background check services) and 518210 (computing infrastructure and data processing), with additional emphasis on computer systems design and credit bureau services. She procures end-to-end solutions for personnel vetting automation, secure identity management systems, and real-time threat analytics platforms, reflecting deep technical expertise in defense-oriented information assurance and operational security environments.
