Renee S Staton

Renee S. Staton serves as a Contracting Officer for the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), where she plays a pivotal role in securing the nation’s defense industrial base through strategic procurement of critical support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with DCSA’s mission to ensure personnel vetting integrity, cybersecurity resilience, and infrastructure protection. Her contracts primarily support administrative management, training, data processing, and operational infrastructure services essential to modernizing background investigation systems and safeguarding classified environments. Staton operates under full and open competition protocols, consistently prioritizing mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic set-asides. Her key contractor relationships include SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in identity management, secure data systems, and mission support services. Staton’s contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing deep expertise in federal security compliance, cybersecurity frameworks, and scalable IT infrastructure solutions. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a strong emphasis on technical proficiency and regulatory adherence. Staton’s procurement strategy is overwhelmingly oriented toward full and open competition, with only 9.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she maintains compliance with socioeconomic programs, her primary focus remains on acquiring high-integrity, mission-critical services from qualified providers, regardless of business size. This reflects a strategic alignment with DCSA’s operational urgency and the need for specialized technical capabilities often found in larger, seasoned contractors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541611 (administrative management consulting), 611430 (professional and management development training), 518210 (data processing and hosting services), and 519190 (other information services), with a notable but outlier presence in 721110 (lodging services) likely tied to travel or training site support. Staton’s expertise centers on procuring services that enhance workforce readiness, secure digital environments, and streamline vetting operations—domain areas critical to national defense security.
