Claudio Casanova serves as a key procurement professional within the FPS East CCG Division 4 Acq Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where he supports the acquisition of protective security services and integrated physical security systems for federal facilities. His role centers on managing contract lifecycle activities for armed and unarmed protective security officers, as well as advanced security technologies designed to enhance perimeter control, access management, and surveillance capabilities. He operates within the Office of Procurement Operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with DHS’s mission to secure critical infrastructure through reliable, technologically advanced security solutions. Casanova maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors American Eagle Protective Services Corp and HTI Systems LLC, reflecting a pattern of sustained partnerships with firms specializing in personnel-based security services and integrated security system installations. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to ensure operational continuity and system interoperability across federal sites. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity within the security services sector. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to promote diverse vendor engagement. Casanova’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), accounting for 85.7% of activity, alongside NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), reflecting deep expertise in both human security operations and technology-enabled physical protection systems.
