Steven Galotti

Steven Galotti serves as the primary point of contact for the Transportation Security Administration, facilitating the acquisition of critical security and telecommunications capabilities essential to national transportation infrastructure. In this role, he supports the agency’s mission to enhance system resilience through the procurement of physical and cyber-enabled security solutions, coordinating closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational requirements. He typically handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts for services related to security operations, surveillance systems, and mission-critical communications. Galotti works with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, primarily engaged in security services, satellite communications, and IT support. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing expertise in access control systems, threat detection technologies, and managed satellite networks. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, with a focus on vendor accountability, compliance with DHS cybersecurity standards, and rapid response capabilities to evolving security threats. His contracting approach demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. However, he actively incorporates 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate commitment to small business participation and socioeconomic diversity within the vendor base. This balance ensures both competitive rigor and meaningful opportunities for disadvantaged businesses, aligning with DHS’s broader small business goals. Galotti’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services), underscoring his domain expertise in physical security operations and integrated surveillance infrastructure. He also regularly procures satellite telecommunications (517410) and specialized computer services (541519), indicating deep familiarity with secure, high-availability communication architectures and mission-support IT systems critical to TSA’s layered security posture.
