Carlos Stewart

Carlos Stewart serves as a procurement professional within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. He is responsible for managing the acquisition of protective security services and integrated surveillance systems critical to the safety and operational continuity of federal facilities. His portfolio centers on the procurement of contract security personnel and physical security technologies, ensuring compliance with federal protective standards and mission-critical readiness. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily for services requiring specialized training, credentialing, and rapid deployment capabilities. Stewart maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide qualified security guards, patrol services, and ancillary protective systems. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure adherence to DHS security protocols. These vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term engagement, repeat award patterns, and a focus on proven capability rather than transient bidding. Stewart’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his process remains transparent and competitive, aligned with DHS procurement policy emphasizing capability and compliance over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement specialization lies in NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—where he consistently sources armed and unarmed security personnel, mobile patrol units, access control support, and integrated alarm response systems. His technical domain expertise centers on physical security operations, risk-based staffing models, and the deployment of surveillance-enabling technologies in high-risk federal environments.
