Tarasia L Remhof

Tarasia L. Remhof serves in a critical contracting role within the Contract Administration Services Division of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she supports the acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services essential to national security readiness. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for systems engineering, cybersecurity infrastructure, and physical science research initiatives that underpin DHS operational capabilities. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic mission objectives, particularly in advancing technological resilience and operational integrity across federal security systems. Remhof maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of prime contractors specializing in technical services, including firms with expertise in systems integration, cybersecurity analytics, and engineering support. While no specific contractor names are currently identifiable in the procurement record, her pattern of engagement reflects a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-integrity technical domains. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission alignment. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued as full and open competitions. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the division’s focus on mission-critical, non-discretionary acquisitions requiring specialized expertise. There is no evidence of targeted 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB utilization in her portfolio. Notably, her procurement activity is exclusively classified under NAICS 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—which suggests either a data classification anomaly or the use of this code for non-traditional administrative or logistical support services related to DHS travel, temporary lodging, or facility operations. Further context would be needed to clarify the functional alignment between this NAICS code and the division’s technical mission, but her work remains centered on enabling operational continuity through reliable service acquisition.
