Gladys Klemic

Gladys Klemic serves as a key procurement professional within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she supports the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security operations. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for advanced measuring and controlling devices, public safety systems, and specialized surgical equipment, ensuring alignment with DHS mission-critical requirements for operational readiness and systems integrity. She exercises sound contracting judgment in evaluating technical proposals, managing performance metrics, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations across high-stakes procurements. While specific contractor names are not available, Klemic’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and technical service providers specializing in precision instrumentation, public safety technologies, and medical device systems. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on vendors with proven capabilities in engineering compliance, cybersecurity-integrated hardware, and FDA-regulated product lines, fostering partnerships grounded in technical rigor and regulatory adherence. Klemic’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. This underscores a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation requirements as part of broader agency obligations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), where she acquires sophisticated sensors and control systems for infrastructure protection, followed by NAICS 922190 (Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities) for law enforcement and border security technologies, and NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) for medical countermeasures and emergency response equipment. Her expertise spans engineering procurement, systems integration, and regulatory compliance in high-consequence domains.
