Todd Frye

Todd Frye serves as a key procurement professional within the Information Technology Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical information technology services essential to border security operations. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for advanced software development, network operations, and cybersecurity-enabling solutions that support real-time data integration across surveillance systems, traveler processing platforms, and tactical communications infrastructure. Frye plays a central role in ensuring the agency’s technological modernization aligns with DHS cybersecurity standards and operational resilience requirements, routinely overseeing complex IT service acquisitions under full and open competition. Frye maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships with leading systems integrators and specialized IT service providers capable of delivering scalable, secure, and mission-tailored solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven expertise in cloud-enabled architectures, zero-trust network frameworks, and automated threat detection systems. His working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance monitoring, compliance with FedRAMP and NIST guidelines, and a preference for contractors with demonstrated experience in federal law enforcement and border security environments. Frye’s procurement strategy reflects a strong orientation toward full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside preferences. He does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on technical capability and operational readiness as the primary selection criteria. This approach ensures access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the high-stakes demands of border technology modernization. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, systems integration, cybersecurity consulting, and IT infrastructure support. Frye specializes in acquiring solutions that enhance border surveillance analytics, secure data transmission, and real-time interoperability between federal, state, and international partner systems.
