Lawana Nunnally 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. She plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for physical security services and integrated surveillance systems that protect federal facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific security requirements. Nunnally primarily handles service-based contracts for security operations and technology-enabled protective systems, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goal of maintaining operational continuity and threat resilience across federal infrastructure. Nunnally maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security systems integration, personnel services, and surveillance technology solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and technical proficiency. She actively engages contractors through pre-solicitation outreach and post-award performance evaluations to ensure alignment with federal security standards and mission objectives. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Nunnally consistently prioritizes small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to empowering small businesses, particularly those certified under general small business programs, while maintaining flexibility for open competitions when necessary to ensure best value. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting a deep specialization in physical security operations, access control systems, surveillance technology deployment, and integrated security management services. Nunnally’s portfolio demonstrates a clear focus on procuring human security resources alongside advanced electronic protection systems to support a layered defense strategy for federal properties.
