Evelyn Tyndell

Evelyn S. Tyndell serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical capabilities that enhance aviation and transit security infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized equipment and support services, including explosive detection systems, irradiation apparatus, GPS-enabled rail monitoring technologies, and operational logistics solutions. Her work directly supports the TSA’s mandate to safeguard the nation’s transportation networks through timely, compliant, and technically sound procurement actions aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, Tyndell routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in security technology manufacturing, aviation support services, and environmental remediation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and firm-fixed-price contract vehicles to ensure flexibility and accountability in service delivery. Tyndell maintains a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition and 12.5% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business inclusion, particularly among general service providers and technical service firms, though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are currently dominant in her portfolio. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 541612 (Human Resources Consulting), and 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation), with significant procurement activity in 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) and 562910 (Remediation Services). This reflects a unique blend of facility support, workforce services, and high-tech security equipment procurement, demonstrating her expertise in managing both administrative and technically complex acquisitions within the homeland security domain.
