John C. Hofmann

John C. Hofmann serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical protective services for federal facilities. Responsible for the full lifecycle procurement of security-related contracts, Hofmann ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s objective to safeguard federal infrastructure through qualified personnel and integrated security systems. His portfolio is exclusively focused on security guards and patrol services, aligning directly with the agency’s operational need for robust, reliable, and responsive physical security solutions. Hofmann maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security personnel and operational support services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor evaluation to ensure compliance with federal security standards. These partnerships are built on a foundation of accountability, past performance evaluation, and adherence to contractual obligations, fostering reliable service delivery across high-risk federal sites. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hofmann consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities for qualified small firms capable of delivering essential security services. His pattern of awarding nearly all contracts under small business set-asides underscores his alignment with DHS’s broader inclusion objectives. His technical expertise is singularly focused on NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—where he specializes in procuring armed and unarmed protective services, mobile patrol operations, access control support, and facility-specific security staffing. Hofmann’s deep domain knowledge ensures that all procurements meet stringent federal security requirements and operational readiness standards.
