Tiffany D. Lumpkin

Tiffany D. Lumpkin serves as a Contract Specialist within the FPS East CCG Division 3 Acquisition Division under the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies to secure federal facilities through integrated security solutions. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for manned security services and advanced surveillance systems, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with DHS’s mission to protect critical infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based contracts requiring technical oversight of physical security operations and technology-enabled monitoring systems, with a strong emphasis on performance-based acquisition methods and risk mitigation in high-sensitivity environments. Lumpkin maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SIMMONS & GOLDEN SECURITY LLC and GXC MAX INC, both of which provide comprehensive security systems integration and patrol services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and operational readiness, often leveraging performance metrics and incentive structures to ensure contractor accountability. She actively collaborates with these firms to align deliverables with evolving security standards and emerging technological capabilities in video analytics and access control systems. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lumpkin prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition, enhance regional economic resilience, and promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a consistent preference for small business eligibility over no set-asides, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to inclusive procurement. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), which accounts for 75% of her portfolio, encompassing integrated surveillance, intrusion detection, and access control systems. She also procures NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and NAICS 611430 (Professional Training), reflecting a holistic approach to security that blends human capital with technology-driven solutions. Lumpkin’s work ensures that federal facilities are protected through compliant, effective, and technologically current security ecosystems.
