Glynis D Fisher

Glynis D. Fisher serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions that directly support national security missions, including cybersecurity, systems engineering, and research and development initiatives. Her portfolio centers on securing specialized consulting and operational support services critical to maintaining the integrity and readiness of DHS mission systems. Fisher ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering efficient, transparent procurement practices aligned with strategic agency objectives. Her contractor relationships primarily involve firms providing expert technical consulting, event and convention logistics, and broad-based professional services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of vendors capable of delivering high-complexity, mission-critical support under performance-based contract structures. Fisher emphasizes quality of deliverables, technical responsiveness, and contract performance metrics over volume-based sourcing, cultivating long-term partnerships with firms demonstrating proven capability in DHS-relevant domains. Fisher’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical merit and mission alignment over mandatory set-asides. While she does not routinely deploy 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach remains compliant with all statutory requirements and supports broad market participation through fair and open solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). These categories reflect her specialization in securing expert advisory services, technical event support, and niche professional services essential to DHS operational planning, stakeholder engagement, and systems development. Her expertise lies in managing complex, knowledge-based acquisitions that require rigorous evaluation of technical proposals and past performance.
