Tiffany R Luebkert

Tiffany R. Luebkert serves as a key procurement professional within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical security technologies essential to aviation and transit infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced detection systems, irradiation apparatus, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with national security priorities. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational requirements into technically sound solicitations that enhance threat detection capabilities across high-risk transportation environments. While specific contractor names are not available, Luebkert maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in security services and specialized manufacturing, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity providers and small businesses capable of delivering niche, high-precision equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and adherence to FAR standards, promoting accountability and innovation in the vendor ecosystem. Luebkert demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 25% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts are open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified firms and promote socioeconomic equity in federal contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting a heavy reliance on human-centric security operations support, complemented by NAICS 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) for technical systems used in explosive and contraband detection. This dual specialization underscores her expertise in bridging operational security needs with advanced engineering solutions, ensuring that both personnel and technology are integrated effectively into the nation’s layered defense posture.
