Christopher Morrison

Christopher Morrison supports the Department of Homeland Security’s Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD) in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the Office of Procurement Operations’ mandate to modernize digital infrastructure and enhance administrative efficiency. He specializes in managing professional and technical service acquisitions, with a focus on consulting, systems design, and workforce development solutions that sustain core operational capabilities. His portfolio consistently targets high-impact, non-manufacturing services critical to maintaining secure, scalable, and interoperable federal IT environments and organizational readiness. Morrison cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including large professional services firms delivering management consulting and computer systems design, as well as specialized small businesses providing training, administrative support, and niche technical services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. He engages contractors across the full spectrum of service delivery models, from firm-fixed-price to time-and-materials arrangements, ensuring flexibility while maintaining fiscal and regulatory integrity. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet he maintains a consistent 10% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his reliance on small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small firms without compromising competition or mission needs. Morrison’s primary NAICS focus areas include Administrative Management Consulting (541611), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Professional and Management Development Training (611430), underscoring his expertise in acquiring services that optimize workforce capabilities, streamline operations, and modernize digital platforms. He frequently procures cloud-enabled IT solutions, organizational development programs, and operational support services critical to sustaining DHS’s administrative and technological infrastructure.
