Paul A Attorri

Paul A. Attorri serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex professional, scientific, and technical acquisitions that directly support national security and operational readiness. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for high-demand services including systems engineering, cybersecurity support, and technical consulting, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DHS’s mission to strengthen critical infrastructure and research capabilities. His portfolio is characterized by mission-critical procurements requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based contract structures. Attorri cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of contractors, primarily engaging firms specializing in administrative management consulting, professional technical services, and computer-related support. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with both large-capability vendors and small businesses capable of delivering niche expertise in systems integration and technical advisory services. His approach emphasizes performance outcomes, clear statement of work development, and risk mitigation through well-defined contract deliverables. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 78.6% of awards issued without set-aside designations, yet he maintains a significant commitment to small business participation—21.4% of his awards are competed under the 8(a) program. This balance reflects a deliberate effort to leverage market-wide innovation while actively fostering opportunities for economically disadvantaged businesses to contribute to high-stakes federal missions. Attorri’s primary NAICS focus areas include Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (541611) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), with additional activity in Other Computer-Related Services (541519) and Public Relations Agencies (541820). His expertise centers on procuring advisory, analytical, and technical support services that enhance DHS’s capacity in systems engineering, policy implementation, and operational technology integration.
