Martha A. Booros

Martha A. Booros serves as a key procurement professional within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she manages the acquisition of critical professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security operations. Her work centers on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of custom software development, systems engineering, and technical consulting services that support cybersecurity infrastructure, research and development, and mission-critical systems integrity. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and DHS strategic priorities. Booros maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of prime contractors specializing in custom computer programming and technical consulting, including firms with deep expertise in secure software development, threat analysis platforms, and systems integration. While no specific contractor names are designated as primary, her portfolio consistently engages vendors with proven capabilities in agile development, DevSecOps, and federal compliance frameworks such as NIST and FISMA. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based outcomes and technical excellence over volume-based sourcing. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition, indicating a strategic emphasis on technical capability and market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes mission-critical performance and innovation over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude participation by small businesses that meet stringent technical requirements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting deep expertise in procuring software development, systems architecture, cybersecurity analytics, and engineering consulting. She routinely sources solutions involving secure coding, network defense systems, data analytics platforms, and mission-specific application development tailored to DHS operational needs.
