Robert Lucier

Robert E. Lucier serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, under the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical security services and integrated surveillance systems that safeguard federal facilities. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts in alignment with FAR guidelines. Lucier specializes in acquisitions for physical security infrastructure, personnel services, and technology-enabled protective systems, ensuring operational readiness and compliance with federal security standards. Lucier maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, all of which provide specialized security systems integration and guard services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability. He actively engages with vendors through pre-solicitation conferences and post-award performance reviews to ensure alignment with mission-critical security requirements. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lucier consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 80% of his acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while leveraging the agility and innovation of small contractors in delivering essential security services. His socioeconomic contracting patterns align with federal goals to enhance diversity and resilience within the national security supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), where he procures integrated access control systems, surveillance technologies, and armed/ unarmed protective services. Lucier’s expertise centers on operational security environments requiring real-time threat response, layered defense architectures, and compliance with DHS security protocols, making him a key steward of federal facility protection through strategic sourcing.
