Michelle A. Duffy

Michelle A. Duffy serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to secure protective security services and integrated surveillance systems essential for safeguarding federal facilities. Her portfolio centers on contracts for physical security personnel, access control systems, and related infrastructure support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational requirements. Duffy plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with the agency’s objective of maintaining secure, resilient federal infrastructure through timely and compliant contracting. Duffy maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security services and technology integration solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal security operations, fostering long-term partnerships built on performance reliability and regulatory adherence. She frequently engages these contractors on task orders under blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to meet dynamic, facility-specific security needs. Duffy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly equal distribution between total small business set-asides and non-set-aside awards, and a notable 11.1% allocation to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her approach prioritizes meaningful small business participation, consistently leveraging FAR 19.5 provisions to expand opportunities for qualified small entities while maintaining competitive rigor and mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services), reflecting deep expertise in human security operations and electronic surveillance systems. She also manages niche requirements under NAICS 812320 for facility support services. Duffy’s technical domain expertise spans physical security protocols, access management technologies, and integrated threat detection systems, ensuring acquisitions align with DHS security standards and operational continuity goals.
