Gerrid Gaboriault

Gerrid Gaboriault serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where they play a pivotal role in executing the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security operations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award administration and performance oversight—Gaboriault ensures alignment with federal procurement regulations and DHS mission priorities. Their work directly supports the agency’s objectives in advancing research and development, enhancing cybersecurity infrastructure, and strengthening systems engineering capabilities through high-integrity service contracts. Gaboriault collaborates with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in technical and analytical services, fostering partnerships grounded in compliance, transparency, and performance accountability. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, they maintain consistent engagement with firms possessing proven expertise in engineering analysis, cybersecurity research, and scientific support services. Their working relationships emphasize competitive fairness, rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, and adherence to FAR guidelines, ensuring equitable access for qualified industry participants. Gaboriault’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition to ensure the broadest possible access to top-tier technical talent. This approach prioritizes merit-based selection over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the division’s mandate to secure mission-critical capabilities without restriction. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. Their procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing specialized services such as systems engineering, threat analysis, physical science research, and technical advisory support. Gaboriault’s expertise lies in acquiring high-complexity, non-standardized services that require deep domain knowledge, often involving emerging technologies and mission-critical infrastructure support for DHS operational units.
