Daniel S. Rapoport

Daniel S. Rapoport serves as a Contract Specialist 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 full lifecycle of procurement actions for physical security services and integrated surveillance systems critical to federal facility protection. His portfolio centers on the solicitation, negotiation, and administration of service-based contracts to ensure the timely deployment of qualified security personnel and advanced protective technologies. Rapoport plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with the agency’s mission to safeguard federal infrastructure through compliant, efficient, and mission-driven contracting practices. Rapoport maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which specialize in providing manned guard services, patrol operations, and security system integration. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal security environments, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. These relationships are typically structured through task order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring operational flexibility and rapid response to evolving security needs. Rapoport’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability, readiness, and compliance over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, all awards adhere to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. His primary technical focus is on NAICS 561612 — Security Guards and Patrol Services — encompassing the procurement of armed and unarmed security personnel, mobile patrol services, access control operations, and related support functions. Rapoport’s expertise lies in contracting for human-centric security solutions that complement technological surveillance systems, ensuring seamless integration of personnel and equipment to meet federal protective standards.
