Marcus Mason

Marcus Mason serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where he manages the acquisition of critical security services and integrated protective systems for federal facilities. His role is central to ensuring operational continuity and physical security across federal infrastructure by executing full lifecycle procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 19, with a focus on performance-based contracting and risk-mitigated vendor selection. He routinely handles task and delivery order contracts for security personnel, surveillance systems, access control technologies, and integrated security solutions aligned with DHS standards. Marcus maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, partnering primarily with firms experienced in delivering comprehensive security services and technology-enabled protective systems. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, compliance with federal security protocols, and performance accountability through clear SOWs and KPIs, fostering long-term, mission-aligned vendor partnerships. He exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access for small businesses while maintaining competition and capability thresholds essential to mission-critical security operations. Marcus specializes in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), with deep expertise in procuring manned guarding, electronic surveillance, intrusion detection, and integrated security management systems. His technical domain knowledge spans physical security infrastructure, cybersecurity-adjacent physical controls, and compliance with DHS Protective Security Guidelines, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent federal safety and resilience requirements.
