Kerrin Cahill

Kerrin Cahill serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for managing the acquisition of physical security services and integrated protective systems for federal facilities. Focused on ensuring the operational readiness and safety of federal infrastructure, Cahill oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation through award and performance management—primarily for security guard and patrol services. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to deploy qualified personnel and advanced surveillance capabilities to safeguard high-value federal assets across the Eastern region. Cahill maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security personnel and operational support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal facility protection, including access control, patrol logistics, and emergency response coordination. The contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, compliance with DHS security standards, and contractor accountability under performance work statements. While the majority of acquisitions are conducted as open competitions without set-asides (64.3%), Cahill demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 7.1% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern reflects a balanced approach to competition and socioeconomic objectives, ensuring market diversity while maintaining mission-critical readiness. Cahill’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—indicating deep specialization in the procurement of human security resources, including armed and unarmed guards, mobile patrols, and site-specific protective operations. Their expertise lies in defining performance metrics, evaluating contractor qualifications under DHS security clearance requirements, and ensuring compliance with federal facility access and response protocols.
