Delisa Hawkins

Delisa Hawkins serves as the primary procurement lead for Mission Essentials under the Transportation Security Administration, overseeing acquisitions critical to enhancing operational readiness and tactical training capacity for federal law enforcement personnel. Her role centers on securing facility-based training infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on firing range systems, safety equipment, and specialized recreation infrastructure that supports live-fire proficiency and tactical simulation environments. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with DHS security priorities. Her acquisitions directly enable mission-critical training environments that maintain weapon handling proficiency and operational safety standards. Hawkins maintains a consistent working relationship with GLOBAL SUPPLY MANAGEMENT INC as her primary contractor, leveraging their expertise in delivering integrated training solutions and durable safety equipment tailored to high-risk operational settings. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capability in military-grade training systems, though she actively engages with small businesses to ensure competitive sourcing. Her vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term reliability, technical specificity, and adherence to stringent safety and performance standards required in federal law enforcement training facilities. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and ensures equitable access for qualified vendors, aligning with broader DHS initiatives to broaden the supplier base. Hawkins’ primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 713990, encompassing specialized recreational and training facilities, particularly firing ranges and tactical simulation infrastructure. She also procures services under NAICS 332994 for small arms accessories and 332812 for metal coating and engraving services used in safety signage and equipment labeling. Her technical domain expertise centers on the design, installation, and maintenance of secure, compliant, and high-utilization training environments that meet federal law enforcement safety and operational standards.
