Tamika Shung

Tamika Shung serves as the primary Point of Contact for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), facilitating mission-critical acquisitions under the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she coordinates the planning, solicitation, and execution of procurements that support advanced operational systems at ports of entry and border corridors. Her responsibilities include aligning contracting activities with CBP’s strategic goals of modernizing field infrastructure, enhancing telecommunications resilience, and deploying technical consulting services that improve border security readiness. She interfaces with program managers, technical evaluators, and vendor representatives to ensure acquisitions meet stringent operational and compliance requirements. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Tamika engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in scientific and technical consulting and telecommunications solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-aligned partnerships with firms capable of delivering integrated, field-deployable systems—particularly those offering real-time data analytics, secure communications networks, and operational support services tailored to high-threat environments. She maintains a collaborative, transparent relationship with industry, emphasizing responsiveness and technical adaptability in vendor selection. Tamika exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses (SB) and the other half open to all competitors. This 50/50 distribution signals a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively promoting small business participation, consistent with DHS and CBP directives to expand economic opportunity and enhance innovation through diverse vendor engagement. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and NAICS 517810 (All Other Telecommunications), reflecting deep expertise in securing specialized consulting for border technology integration and non-traditional telecommunications infrastructure. She routinely procures services related to network modernization, field support systems, cybersecurity-enabled communications, and mission-critical operational analysis—domains essential to sustaining CBP’s frontline readiness.
