Gregory T. Ketcham

Gregory T. Ketcham serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within his organization, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and promoting efficient, transparent contracting practices. He specializes in the solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of service-based contracts, with a primary focus on security systems services. His role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of securing critical infrastructure and operational environments through reliable, high-performance contract solutions. Ketcham routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring detailed statement of work development, risk assessment, and contractor performance monitoring. Ketcham maintains professional relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in physical and electronic security systems, including alarm monitoring, access control, video surveillance, and integrated security platform integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing relevant technical certifications and proven performance histories. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. Ketcham’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than reserving opportunities for specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. His approach prioritizes technical capability and value over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise is paramount. His primary area of expertise lies in NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—where he procures integrated security solutions including intrusion detection, surveillance systems, cybersecurity-enabled physical security platforms, and managed security operations. Ketcham’s technical domain expertise encompasses the integration of physical and digital security technologies, ensuring contracts deliver robust, scalable, and interoperable systems that meet evolving threat landscapes.
