Ingrid Pascall

Ingrid Pascall serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security. She plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical technologies that enhance aviation and transit security, including explosive detection systems, irradiation apparatus, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring solutions. Her portfolio centers on complex, high-stakes procurements requiring stringent compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications for national security applications. Pascall manages the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with the agency’s strategic priorities to modernize transportation infrastructure and safeguard critical transit networks. Pascall cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in advanced detection systems, security services, and specialized manufacturing. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing deep technical expertise in aerospace instrumentation, security operations, and conveyor-based screening technologies. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, rigorous technical evaluation, and performance-based contract structures to ensure reliability and innovation in high-consequence environments. Pascall demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 20% of her contracting activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while fostering opportunities for qualified small businesses to contribute to national security missions. Her primary industry focus lies in NAICS 334511, where she procures advanced detection and navigation systems for aviation security. She also regularly acquires conveyor and conveying equipment (333922), security guard and patrol services (561612), and apparel accessories (315990) used in screening operations. Pascall’s expertise spans both high-tech engineering domains and operational support services, making her a key player in integrating cutting-edge technology with frontline security workflows.
