Mark Namoco

Mark Namoco serves as the primary procurement lead within the Cwmd Acq Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where he oversees the acquisition of critical technologies designed to detect, monitor, and respond to radiological, nuclear, and high-consequence threats. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for personal radiation detectors, mobile monitoring systems, and integrated medical surveillance platforms used by first responders and public safety personnel. Namoco ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with national resilience objectives, prioritizing technical innovation and operational readiness in high-stakes environments. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Namoco’s procurement pattern reflects engagement with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in advanced sensor technologies and mission-critical software solutions. He maintains a balanced approach to vendor partnerships, fostering collaboration with both established defense and homeland security contractors and agile technology firms capable of rapid prototyping and field-deployable system integration. Namoco demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to full and open competition. This balanced approach ensures robust market participation while actively promoting opportunities for small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, to compete for mission-critical contracts. His procurement focus is exclusively aligned with NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers), indicating a deep specialization in software-driven detection systems, data analytics platforms, and integrated command-and-control applications for radiation monitoring. Namoco’s expertise lies in acquiring software-defined solutions that enable real-time threat assessment, geospatial tracking, and interoperability with federal emergency response networks, making him a key architect of digital resilience in national security operations.
