Maisie Meade

Maisie Meade serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Marshals Service Office of Security Contracts, a critical component of the Department of Justice responsible for securing federal judicial operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical security services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning contracting decisions with the agency’s mandate to protect judges, court personnel, and witnesses. Her acquisitions primarily involve the solicitation, evaluation, and award of service contracts for armed protective details, court facility security systems, surveillance infrastructure, and emergency response support, all designed to maintain the integrity and resilience of federal judicial environments. Meade collaborates with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in federal security services, including integrated security contractors, private protective services firms, and technology providers delivering access control and threat detection systems. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based outcomes, rigorous contractor oversight, and adherence to stringent security clearance protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven experience in federal courthouse operations and a demonstrated capacity to meet high-threat environment requirements. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes capability and compliance over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that the highest standards of operational readiness are met without compromise. Meade’s technical domain is exclusively focused on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—with an emphasis on integrated physical security solutions, personnel screening systems, and real-time monitoring platforms. Her expertise lies in procuring complex, multi-layered security services that combine human capital with advanced technological infrastructure to safeguard the federal judiciary.
