Patricia M. Wolfe

Patricia M. Wolfe serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions critical to national security operations. Her portfolio emphasizes the procurement of systems engineering, cybersecurity solutions, and research and development services that sustain operational readiness and infrastructure integrity. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering accountability, transparency, and mission alignment across contract award and administration phases. Ms. Wolfe maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of federal contractors, including prime vendors with deep expertise in defense-grade systems integration, advanced analytics, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous contractor oversight, cultivating partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, high-integrity technical solutions under stringent security protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with organizations possessing Top Secret clearance capabilities and proven experience in DHS mission domains. Ms. Wolfe’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. This underscores a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and market competitiveness rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award stream, she remains compliant with all statutory requirements and may facilitate small business subcontracting through prime contractor obligations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to scientific research and development, systems engineering, and cybersecurity services. She regularly procures advanced technical services including threat intelligence platforms, secure network architecture, physical security systems, and applied engineering solutions for federal facilities and critical infrastructure. Her domain expertise centers on mission-critical technologies that support DHS’s core objectives in border security, cyber resilience, and emergency response preparedness.
