Jonathon D Yockey

Jonathon D. Yockey serves as a key procurement professional within the Procurement Directorate Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance border security through strategic acquisitions of critical services and specialized equipment. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on canine enforcement support, facility security operations, and analytical instrumentation, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant sourcing. His work directly enables Border Patrol K9 units and detection infrastructure by securing mission-critical capabilities aligned with DHS and CBP strategic priorities. Yockey cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses specializing in security services, laboratory instrument manufacturing, and local logistics. He works closely with contractors providing document preparation, security patrol services, and local delivery solutions, often coordinating with firms that possess niche technical expertise in detection systems and field-deployable analytical tools. His procurement approach emphasizes responsiveness, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in transparency and accountability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Yockey consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 62% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns reflect a deliberate emphasis on expanding opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned firms, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged entities, aligning with federal mandates to promote equitable access to government contracting. His primary procurement focus centers on five NAICS categories: security and patrol services (561612), document preparation (561410), local delivery (492210), analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516), and information services (511210). This reflects deep expertise in acquiring both tangible detection equipment and essential support services that underpin CBP’s operational infrastructure, demonstrating a balanced command of technical procurement and mission-driven logistics.
