Tanya Bigelow

Tanya Bigelow serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of security systems services across federal operations. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while executing competitive and transparent contracting processes that align with agency mission objectives. She specializes in the full lifecycle of contract management—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—focusing primarily on technical services related to physical and electronic security infrastructure, including surveillance, access control, and integrated alarm systems. Her work supports national security and facility protection initiatives through strategic sourcing and risk-mitigated contracting practices. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the available data, Tanya routinely engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors capable of delivering complex security systems integration services. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and specialized subcontractors, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and contractual accountability. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition and technical merit, ensuring that offers meet stringent performance, cybersecurity, and compliance standards. Tanya’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under general competition. This pattern indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective solutions without socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with mission-critical requirements that demand specialized expertise not always available within small business pools. Her approach underscores efficiency and capability over socioeconomic targeting, while still adhering to all applicable small business outreach and reporting obligations. Her primary area of expertise is NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—where she procures comprehensive solutions including intrusion detection, video surveillance, biometric access systems, and integrated command and control platforms. She possesses deep technical knowledge of security system architectures and vendor capabilities, ensuring acquisitions align with evolving threat landscapes and federal security standards such as NIST and FISMA. Her domain expertise enables her to evaluate complex technical proposals and negotiate contracts that deliver resilient, scalable, and interoperable security infrastructure.
