He manages a portfolio focused on personnel vetting services, cybersecurity infrastructure support, and background investigation modernization initiatives. His role ensures the timely and compliant delivery of mission-critical services that enable secure access to classified systems by cleared personnel.

Nolan’s procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for established firms demonstrating proven experience in federal security environments and compliance with NIST and DHS standards. Nolan’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized across his contracts.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services) and NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations), reflecting deep expertise in personnel security, investigative support, and professional services for government clearance operations. He regularly acquires services involving fingerprinting, records verification, continuous evaluation systems, and secure identity management platforms, underscoring his technical command over the end-to-end lifecycle of defense personnel vetting.
