Katheryn Dennis

Katheryn Dennis serves as a secondary procurement contact within the U.S. Secret Service, supporting the agency’s mission to protect national leaders and critical infrastructure through the acquisition of advanced technological systems and operational support services. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating contract execution, coordinating requirements across technical teams, and ensuring alignment with strategic modernization goals in protective intelligence and threat mitigation. Her work typically involves supporting complex acquisitions for surveillance, communications, and specialized protective equipment, often interfacing with engineering and operational units to translate mission needs into compliant procurement actions. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including The MITRE Corporation, MLINQS, LLC, SCAVET TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, PROLIFIC SYSTEMS, LLC, and BUCKEYE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-integrity, mission-critical support services and technology integration, particularly in cybersecurity, analytical systems, and secure communications infrastructure. Her procurement patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal security environments, often engaging them through performance-based, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or other flexible contract vehicles. Dennis’s contracting activity shows a strong emphasis on small business participation, with approximately 33.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, her portfolio consistently includes opportunities for qualified small businesses, reflecting the agency’s commitment to fostering innovation and resilience through competitive small business engagement. Her primary NAICS focus areas—All Other Support Services, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and Automobile and Light Duty Motor Vehicle Manufacturing—reveal a technical procurement profile centered on specialized support, instrumentation for threat analysis, and vehicle-modification services for protective details. This underscores her expertise in acquiring niche, high-performance equipment and services tailored to the Secret Service’s unique operational demands.
