Deborah Noojin

Deborah Noojin serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions that directly support national security objectives, including cybersecurity, systems engineering, and operational readiness initiatives. Her procurement activities focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical capabilities to DHS components. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts for consulting, security infrastructure, and facility-related services, emphasizing risk mitigation, contract performance oversight, and stakeholder alignment across federal and contractor teams. Deborah Noojin cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of contractors specializing in technical consulting, security systems integration, and facility management services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in physical and cyber infrastructure support, scientific research services, and public safety operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor accountability, performance metrics, and long-term partnership development, fostering collaboration with both large prime contractors and niche service providers capable of delivering specialized technical solutions under tight operational timelines. Ms. Noojin’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, including no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest-capability providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical proficiency and operational reliability over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 531120 (nonresidential building lessors), 541690 (scientific and technical consulting), 561621 (security systems services), 813910 (business associations), and 922190 (public order and safety activities). She specializes in acquiring services related to facility operations supporting secure federal facilities, engineering consulting for critical infrastructure, and security system deployment for law enforcement and border protection missions. Her technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of physical security, systems engineering, and operational support services essential to DHS’s mission continuity.
