Randall Burleson

Randall Burleson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to secure critical professional, scientific, and technical services that underpin national security operations. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-priority contracts, with a focus on procurement of medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies through merchant wholesalers, as well as administrative and management consulting services to support operational efficiency. His work ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and supports the agency’s commitment to maintaining systems integrity and operational readiness through timely, compliant, and strategic sourcing. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Burleson routinely engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large-capacity medical equipment distributors and management consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in federal compliance and logistics. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry participants with proven track records in delivering mission-critical supplies and advisory services under complex government requirements, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Burleson’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion, with 20% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though no other set-aside categories are currently dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses within the DHS acquisition ecosystem, aligning with broader federal goals to enhance competition and innovation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423450, indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of medical and hospital equipment, and NAICS 541611, reflecting expertise in procuring strategic management consulting services. These domains require nuanced understanding of technical specifications, supply chain resilience, and compliance with federal health and safety standards, positioning Burleson as a key enabler of DHS’s scientific and operational infrastructure.
