Gilbert Olivas

Gilbert Olivas serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, under the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for protective security services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical security standards. His portfolio centers on the acquisition of contract services to safeguard federal facilities through the deployment of qualified security personnel and integrated surveillance systems. Olivas specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts that support physical security operations, access control, and facility protection across high-risk federal infrastructure. Olivas maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security guard and patrol services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in federal facility protection, emphasizing performance-based service delivery, personnel vetting compliance, and rapid mobilization capabilities. He fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, contract compliance, and operational readiness, ensuring seamless integration of security services with federal law enforcement protocols. Olivas does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified providers rather than prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally encouraged through set-asides, his procurement decisions remain grounded in value, capability, and mission alignment. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—where he specializes in procuring armed and unarmed security personnel, mobile patrol services, access control operations, and related support functions. His technical expertise lies in evaluating contractor compliance with DHS security standards, personnel screening requirements, and real-time response protocols for federal property protection.
