Shone Dickerson

Shone Dickerson serves as a Procurement Technician within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, supporting national security through the execution of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions. In this role, Dickerson facilitates the full lifecycle procurement process—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific mission requirements. Their work directly enables operational readiness by securing critical infrastructure and technical services that underpin DHS’s systems integrity and research capabilities. Dickerson primarily handles low-to-mid-tier service contracts requiring precise technical specifications and stringent performance metrics, often coordinating with program managers and acquisition specialists to align procurement actions with strategic objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, Dickerson maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of vendors, including general service providers, facilities management firms, and technical consultants. Their procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance histories in facility operations and engineering support services, fostering reliable, repeat partnerships grounded in compliance and accountability. Vendor engagement is structured to prioritize transparency, timely deliverables, and adherence to quality assurance protocols, ensuring seamless integration of contracted services into DHS operational environments. Dickerson’s contracting activity shows a strong orientation toward open competition, with 80.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, a notable 19.4% of contracts are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses across socioeconomic categories. Though no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific data is available, the consistent use of small business set-asides indicates an active effort to promote equitable access and enhance vendor diversity in support of federal socioeconomic goals. The primary NAICS focus areas include 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 238390 (Other Building Finishing Contractors), indicating a significant emphasis on facility maintenance and physical infrastructure services. Additional activity in 541611 (Management Consulting) and 611630 (Language Schools) suggests ancillary support for administrative efficiency and workforce training initiatives. Dickerson’s expertise lies in procuring non-IT, facility-centric services that sustain the physical and operational environments critical to DHS mission execution.
