Charito Glorioso

Charito Glorioso serves as a Contracting Officer for the U.S. Marshals Service Office of Security Contracts within the Department of Justice, where she manages mission-critical procurements to ensure the safety and operational resilience of federal judicial proceedings. Her portfolio encompasses the acquisition of specialized security services, protective infrastructure, and support systems essential to safeguarding judges, court personnel, and witnesses. She exercises full contracting authority under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, overseeing solicitations from requirement development through contract award and administration, with a focus on high-stakes, time-sensitive acquisitions that directly support federal law enforcement and courtroom security operations. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Glorioso maintains a balanced procurement ecosystem that includes both large national security service providers and qualified small businesses. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements, and rigorous source selection processes grounded in technical merit and past performance. She collaborates closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with evolving security threats and operational requirements. Glorioso demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 40% of her portfolio directed toward small business set-asides, including 20% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts and another 20% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Non-set-aside acquisitions are reserved for cases requiring specialized capabilities or national security exigencies. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting her expertise in integrated physical and electronic security solutions. She also manages contracts under NAICS 811310 for maintenance of critical security equipment and NAICS 624110 for support services related to witness protection and juvenile court programs, demonstrating a multidisciplinary understanding of federal judicial security needs.
