Nicholas Milillo

Nicholas Milillo serves as a procurement professional within the FPS East CCG Division 3 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where he manages acquisitions critical to securing federal facilities through manned security operations and integrated surveillance systems. His role centers on executing contract actions that support the deployment of protective personnel and advanced physical security technologies, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to safeguard critical infrastructure. He routinely handles service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and performance-based acquisition methodologies, with a focus on requirements that demand high reliability and operational readiness. Milillo maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Simmons & Golden Security LLC and GXC MAX INC, both of which provide comprehensive security services and technology integration solutions. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in federal facility protection, often engaging these partners for long-term, task-order-based contracts under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. These relationships are characterized by sustained performance, compliance with security clearance protocols, and adherence to stringent federal facility access standards. His contracting activity demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 82.6% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports socioeconomic goals through targeted awards to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (13.0%) and total small business set-asides (4.3%), reflecting a balanced approach between operational necessity and statutory small business participation mandates. Milillo’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly three-quarters of his portfolio, underscoring his expertise in human security operations. He also procures specialized surveillance technologies under NAICS codes related to electronic systems manufacturing and software publishing, indicating technical proficiency in integrating video analytics, access control systems, and networked security platforms into federal facility operations.
