Malik Jalloh

Malik Jalloh serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Homeland Security’s Departmental Operations Acquisition Division I (70RDAD), supporting the Office of Procurement Operations in delivering mission-critical technical and administrative services. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for professional and technical services that sustain and modernize the agency’s digital infrastructure, data systems, and workforce development capabilities. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex contracts for IT modernization, systems integration, and applied research services, ensuring alignment with DHS’s strategic objectives for operational resilience and technological advancement. Jalloh cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in computer-related services and scientific research, fostering collaborative relationships with both large-tier contractors and innovative small businesses. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for agile, performance-based engagements that emphasize technical excellence, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and seamless integration with existing DHS systems. He consistently prioritizes clear statement of work development, risk mitigation, and outcome-driven delivery models. Jalloh’s procurement approach is non-set-aside focused, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and operational suitability, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and compliant with all federal socioeconomic contracting requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), underscoring expertise in IT modernization, cybersecurity support, data analytics, and applied scientific research. He routinely procures services such as cloud migration, systems architecture design, software development lifecycle management, and technical consulting for federal operational environments.
