John DeSimone

John DeSimone serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to secure protective security services and integrated surveillance systems essential to federal facility safety. His portfolio centers on the acquisition of personnel services, security technology integration, and facility protection solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational standards. DeSimone plays a pivotal role in translating security requirements into enforceable contract vehicles that support the agency’s mission of safeguarding federal infrastructure through reliable, high-performance service delivery. DeSimone maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized administrative and security support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering scalable, compliant office administrative services and security operations support. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements, performance-based contract structures, and a focus on sustained operational readiness rather than one-time procurements. DeSimone’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach prioritizes competitive fairness, technical capability, and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s operational imperatives, where urgency and reliability outweigh socioeconomic preferences. His primary focus is on NAICS 561110—Office Administrative Services—encompassing security staffing, facility monitoring, administrative coordination, and integrated support systems for federal protection operations. He routinely procures services related to access control, surveillance system maintenance, and on-site security administration, demonstrating deep expertise in the administrative and operational underpinnings of federal facility security.
