Rayshiena Mitchell

Rayshiena Mitchell serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, under the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to secure protective security services and integrated surveillance systems essential for federal facility safety. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on acquiring qualified personnel and technology-driven security solutions under the NAICS 561612 category, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical operational standards. Mitchell plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that directly support the agency’s mandate to safeguard federal infrastructure through reliable, vetted, and technologically advanced security capabilities. Mitchell maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security guard services and surveillance system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous contractor evaluation under fixed-price and time-and-materials contract types. She fosters collaborative, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, accountability, and delivery of mission-aligned security solutions. While the majority of her acquisitions—approximately 80%—are conducted without set-asides, Mitchell actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, consistently allocating 20% of her portfolio to qualified small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to competition and small business development, without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides. Her technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 561612, encompassing the procurement of armed and unarmed security guard services, patrol operations, access control, and related physical security systems. Mitchell’s domain knowledge centers on operational security requirements for federal buildings, ensuring all contracted services meet DHS and FPS standards for personnel vetting, training, and response protocols.
