Laurie Griffin

Laurie Griffin serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for protective security services and integrated surveillance systems critical to federal facility safety. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. She primarily handles performance-based contracts for manned security patrols and physical security infrastructure support, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to safeguard federal assets through qualified personnel and advanced security technologies. Griffin maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of whom provide specialized security guard services and related operational support. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, task-order-based engagements under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated experience in federal facility security. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, quality assurance surveillance plans, and strict adherence to security clearance and training requirements. Griffin’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on open competition to ensure the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors, prioritizing capability and compliance over socioeconomic preferences in this high-stakes security domain. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—reflecting deep expertise in managing contracts for armed and unarmed security personnel, access control operations, and on-site surveillance coordination. She specializes in procuring human-centric security solutions tailored to federal building requirements, with an emphasis on reliability, background vetting standards, and rapid response protocols.
