Heather Reese

Heather Reese serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency’s DCSO Richmond Division #1, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical security systems and infrastructure support services. Her role centers on ensuring the integrity and operational readiness of Department of Defense facilities through the strategic procurement of integrated security solutions, including surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and cybersecurity-enabled physical security systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—aligning acquisitions with the agency’s priorities in facility modernization and environmental compliance. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on technical services that directly support the safety and resilience of military installations. Reese maintains a consistent working relationship with XSB INC, the primary contractor supporting her division’s security systems requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term service reliability, fostering a partnership built on repeat engagement and proven delivery in complex defense environments. While she collaborates with a limited pool of qualified vendors, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated expertise in military-grade security infrastructure and systems integration. Reese’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, consistent with the high-stakes nature of defense infrastructure security. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her contracts remain accessible to all qualified vendors meeting stringent performance and compliance standards. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—encompassing the design, installation, integration, and maintenance of electronic security systems for federal facilities. She specializes in procuring advanced physical security technologies, including networked video surveillance, biometric access control, perimeter intrusion detection, and cybersecurity-hardened command and control platforms, reflecting deep technical expertise in defense-sector security infrastructure.
