George Ross

George Ross serves as a key procurement lead within Acquisitions - Aqm Momentum (19AQMM), a critical component of the U.S. Department of State responsible for securing mission-critical infrastructure and services abroad. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions focused on security systems services, ensuring the safety and operational continuity of U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide. His portfolio encompasses the procurement of integrated physical security systems, access control technologies, surveillance infrastructure, and related technical support services essential to embassy and consulate readiness. Ross operates within a highly regulated environment, aligning all procurements with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards and Department of State security protocols. Ross maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in global security solutions, including PBG Consulting, LLC, CGI Federal Inc., AMD International Technologies LLC, P�tz Security AG, and KADIAK LLC_DGI-ATI II LLC_PROPERTY & ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in deploying secure, scalable, and compliant systems in high-threat environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor vetting, and long-term service-level agreements to ensure sustained mission support. A defining feature of Ross’s procurement strategy is the exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authority under FAR 19.5, with 100% of solicitations reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and institutionalized commitment to fostering economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and innovation of small business contractors in the security services sector. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomically disadvantaged and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reinforcing broader federal diversity goals. His technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—encompassing intrusion detection, video surveillance, cybersecurity-integrated physical security, and perimeter protection systems. Ross’s expertise lies in acquiring complex, interoperable security architectures tailored to the unique threat profiles of overseas diplomatic missions, ensuring compliance with State Department security standards and international operational requirements.
