Kelly Minturn

Kelly M. Minturn serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where she manages the procurement of critical security services and integrated protective systems to safeguard federal facilities. Her role centers on executing full-cycle contract actions in compliance with FAR and DHS acquisition policies, ensuring timely delivery of qualified personnel and technological solutions that enhance physical security operations. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for security guard services, surveillance systems, and facility support functions, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission of operational continuity and threat mitigation. Minturn maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, which provide specialized security personnel, monitoring systems, and facility maintenance support. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and compliance. She engages with both large-capacity service providers and small business subcontractors to ensure service quality and mission readiness across federal sites. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 46% of awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed programs. While the majority of contracts are open to all competitors, her deliberate use of socioeconomic tools demonstrates a strategic emphasis on expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms within the security services sector. Minturn’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for over 60% of her portfolio, supplemented by significant activity in NAICS 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services) and NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services). This reflects her expertise in managing both human capital and technical infrastructure contracts essential to the day-to-day security and operational support of federal buildings, combining traditional protective services with modern surveillance and access control technologies.
