Jeffrey E. Boice

Jeffrey E. Boice serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security operations. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and managing contract award and administration processes for high-stakes R&D and systems engineering efforts. Boice ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission to enhance cybersecurity, physical science capabilities, and operational readiness through innovative technical solutions. Boice collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in advanced research, systems integration, and engineering services, primarily partnering with firms possessing deep expertise in software development, data analytics, and cybersecurity infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors capable of delivering mission-critical technical services under performance-based contract structures, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical excellence and regulatory compliance. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing capability and performance over programmatic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While small business participation is not formally targeted in his portfolio, he maintains adherence to all applicable socioeconomic reporting requirements. Boice’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS Code 511210—Software Publishers—reflecting his specialization in acquiring custom software development, enterprise systems, cybersecurity platforms, and advanced data analytics tools. His technical domain expertise lies in securing mission-critical digital infrastructure, including secure communication systems, threat detection software, and engineering simulation tools essential to DHS operational missions.
