Michael J. Fay

Michael J. Fay 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. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for integrated security systems and protective services essential to federal facility safety. His work ensures the timely acquisition of qualified personnel, surveillance technologies, and physical security infrastructure aligned with national protective standards. Fay specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the NAICS 561621 category, focusing on comprehensive security systems services excluding locksmithing, and consistently applies federal acquisition regulations to support mission-critical operational continuity. Fay maintains established working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security systems integration, monitoring solutions, and protective services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, performance-based vendors capable of delivering scalable, technology-driven security solutions across diverse federal sites. He fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, accountability, and measurable outcomes, ensuring alignment with DHS security protocols and operational requirements. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as full and open competitions without set-asides (75%), Fay actively supports socioeconomic goals by awarding approximately 25% of contracts through 8(a) competed procedures. This demonstrates a deliberate, balanced commitment to small business participation without compromising mission readiness. His approach prioritizes capability and compliance while creating pathways for certified small disadvantaged businesses to contribute meaningfully to federal security objectives. Fay’s procurement expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—encompassing electronic access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance integration, and managed security operations. He consistently sources advanced, interoperable systems that enhance situational awareness and response capabilities across federal infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical fluency in modern security technology ecosystems.
