Keira A Buggs

Keira A. Buggs serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support national security and operational readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service contracts, with a focus on systems engineering, cybersecurity, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Buggs ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic goals in physical and engineering sciences, contributing to the integrity and resilience of DHS’s technological and operational systems. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Buggs maintains a consistent procurement pattern characterized by engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses offering specialized technical services. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure deliverables meet stringent security and compliance standards. She routinely collaborates with vendors across multiple technical domains to deliver scalable, secure, and mission-aligned solutions. Buggs demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 18.2% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses. Although no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are currently dominant in her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a strategic alignment with federal goals to foster competitive, inclusive contracting practices. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), which represents a significant portion of her activity, likely tied to facility infrastructure support, alongside 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), indicating deep engagement with IT modernization, systems integration, and administrative management consulting. Her expertise spans both physical infrastructure and digital service delivery, making her a key contributor to DHS’s dual mission of physical and cyber resilience.
