George M Shirley

George M. Shirley 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. In this role, he is responsible for planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that support the security and operational integrity of federal facilities. His portfolio centers exclusively on the procurement of protective security services and integrated surveillance systems, ensuring the deployment of qualified personnel and advanced security technologies across critical infrastructure. Shirley’s work directly enables the agency’s mission to safeguard federal buildings through compliant, timely, and mission-aligned contracting actions. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which are experienced providers of physical security services and related operational support. These partnerships are built on a foundation of performance accountability, compliance with federal security standards, and responsiveness to dynamic threat environments. Shirley engages these vendors through full and open competitive solicitations, ensuring rigorous evaluation of technical capability, past performance, and operational readiness. Shirley demonstrates a strong and exclusive commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of his awarded contracts structured as 8(a) competed set-asides. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, fostering equitable access to federal security contracts while promoting innovation and capacity building within underserved communities. His procurement expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—where he specializes in acquiring armed and unarmed protective services, access control, mobile patrols, and site-specific security operations. He has deep domain knowledge in the operational requirements of federal facility protection, ensuring all contracts align with DHS security protocols and physical protection standards.
