Margie Cox Marvel

Margie Cox Marvel 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. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical security services and integrated surveillance systems essential to safeguarding federal facilities. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, conducting source selection, and administering contracts under FAR and agency-specific guidelines. She specializes in complex, performance-based acquisitions for physical security infrastructure, including access control, alarm systems, and monitored surveillance platforms, ensuring alignment with national security standards and operational continuity requirements. Margie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security systems integration and protective services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in federal security environments. She engages these contractors through competitive and negotiated procurements, often leveraging task order contracts under blanket purchase agreements to ensure rapid response and scalable support across high-risk federal sites. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 60% of awards issued as unrestricted competitions and 40% allocated to small business set-asides—equally split between 8(a) competed contracts and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores her dedication to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses while maintaining rigorous standards for mission-critical capabilities. Margie’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), each accounting for 50% and 25% of her portfolio, respectively, with additional activity in NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications). She specializes in acquiring integrated physical security solutions, including video surveillance, intrusion detection, biometric access systems, and manned guarding services, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of technology, personnel, and federal facility protection.
