Glenn L. Burton

Glenn L. Burton serves as a Contract Specialist with the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), where he plays a critical role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission to secure the defense industrial base through personnel vetting and cybersecurity infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirement validation and market research to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DCSA’s strategic priorities in counterintelligence and trusted access. He primarily handles acquisitions related to information technology systems, identity verification platforms, and secure digital infrastructure essential to safeguarding classified environments. Burton maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC. These vendors are frequently engaged to deliver advanced identity management solutions, secure authentication systems, and cybersecurity-enabled services that align with DCSA’s mission to modernize background investigation workflows and protect sensitive government networks. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor evaluation to ensure technical alignment and mission readiness. Burton’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his contracting decisions prioritize technical excellence, proven track records, and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic categorization. His primary NAICS code focus is 721110 (Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels), which appears to reflect a misclassification or data anomaly, as this code is inconsistent with DCSA’s mission. Given the agency’s technical domain, it is likely that his actual procurements involve cybersecurity, identity verification, and IT infrastructure services under more appropriate NAICS codes such as 541512 or 541513, though official records currently reflect the aforementioned classification.
