Rachel D. Kalac

Rachel D. Kalac serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to secure federal facilities through strategic acquisitions of protective security services and integrated surveillance systems. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on physical security operations, personnel services, and supporting administrative functions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing operational readiness. Her work directly enables the deployment of qualified security personnel and advanced detection technologies across federal infrastructure, aligning procurement outcomes with national safety priorities. Kalac maintains consistent working relationships with primary contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of whom provide specialized security guard services and operational support solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal facility protection, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. These relationships are cultivated through competitive solicitation processes that emphasize quality of service, workforce qualifications, and compliance with DHS security standards. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Kalac prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over two-thirds of her acquisitions designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and the remainder structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This deliberate focus ensures meaningful participation from veteran-owned and small businesses, reinforcing federal goals for equitable contracting and workforce development within the security services sector. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for the majority of her procurement activity, alongside NAICS 561110 (Office Administrative Services) to support operational logistics. She specializes in acquiring manned guarding, access control support, and integrated security system administration services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational demands of federal facility protection and the regulatory frameworks governing service-based acquisitions.
