DCCO Acquisition Team

The DCCO Acquisition Team operates within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD) under the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security, where they serve as the primary procurement function responsible for securing mission-critical computing and digital infrastructure services. Their role centers on executing full lifecycle acquisitions for professional and technical services that sustain and modernize the agency’s digital backbone, including data processing, cloud hosting, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, and IT operations support. They ensure alignment with federal IT modernization priorities and compliance with OMB and CIO guidance, delivering scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure solutions to support operational continuity across DHS components. The team engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in computing infrastructure and data services, maintaining consistent relationships with established federal IT contractors and emerging technology providers capable of meeting stringent security and performance standards. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they routinely collaborate with firms holding ITIL, CMMI, and FedRAMP authorizations, emphasizing performance-based contracting and outcome-driven delivery models. Their procurement approach prioritizes responsiveness, innovation, and compliance with NIST and FISMA requirements. The DCCO Acquisition Team maintains a 100% non-set-aside contracting profile, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified, high-capacity service providers. This approach underscores their commitment to selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective solutions rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though they remain fully compliant with all applicable small business regulations. Their procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 518210, specializing in computing infrastructure providers, data processing, web hosting, and related cloud and managed services. They procure end-to-end digital infrastructure solutions, including IaaS, PaaS, SIEM platforms, automated provisioning systems, and hybrid cloud environments, demonstrating deep expertise in federal IT modernization, infrastructure-as-code, and secure data center operations.
