Lorna P. Farinas

Lorna P. Farinas serves as a Procurement Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of security services to support operational continuity and mission-critical infrastructure. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing solicitations, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Her work is central to the agency’s mission of maintaining safe and secure environments through timely, transparent, and cost-effective contracting practices. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions, with a consistent focus on contract types such as Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and requirements contracts for ongoing security operations. Farinas maintains a streamlined procurement process characterized by recurring engagements with qualified vendors specializing in armed and unarmed security guard services, mobile patrol operations, and access control support. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely collaborates with a stable network of established security service providers that meet federal credentialing and training standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated reliability, consistent performance metrics, and full compliance with labor and safety regulations under the Service Contract Act. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under general competition without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This reflects a strategic focus on operational urgency and service consistency over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with mission requirements that prioritize readiness and uniformity in security personnel. Farinas specializes exclusively in NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—making her a subject matter expert in the procurement of human security resources. She oversees contracts for static post duties, vehicle patrols, event security, and perimeter monitoring, ensuring vendors meet federal standards for background checks, firearms training, and emergency response protocols. Her domain expertise lies in the operational execution of physical security services across federal facilities and sensitive sites.
