Paul Ross

Paul Ross serves as a Contracting 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 protective security services and integrated surveillance systems critical to federal facility safety. His portfolio centers on securing qualified personnel and advanced security technologies to ensure operational continuity across federal infrastructure. Ross specializes in service-based acquisitions under NAICS 561621, executing competitive solicitations, evaluating technical proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations to meet mission-critical security requirements. Ross maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security systems integration, monitoring, and protective services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a strong focus on outcome-driven deliverables and vendor accountability. He engages these vendors through firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical competence, compliance, and mission alignment. A defining feature of Ross’s contracting profile is his exclusive preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions structured to prioritize this socioeconomic category. This unwavering commitment reflects a strategic alignment with federal mandates to enhance veteran-owned business participation in national security procurement. His contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate and consistent effort to empower qualified SDVOSBs as primary providers of critical security services. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—encompassing electronic access control, video surveillance integration, alarm monitoring, and perimeter security systems. Ross ensures all procurements meet stringent DHS security standards, with an emphasis on interoperability, cyber resilience, and scalable solutions that support evolving threat landscapes across federal facilities.
