Valerie Green

Valerie Green serves as a Contracting Officer within the Contracting and Procurement office of the Transportation Security Administration under the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions critical to national transportation security, including the procurement of advanced detection systems, irradiation equipment, and GPS-enabled rail monitoring technologies. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to safeguard aviation and transit infrastructure through the acquisition of high-precision, mission-critical systems. Green handles complex, technically demanding contracts requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations, performance-based service specifications, and cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure. Green’s contracting patterns reflect a focus on established industry suppliers with proven capabilities in manufacturing and integrating specialized detection and monitoring equipment. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, her portfolio consistently engages vendors with deep expertise in electro-optical sensing, radiation detection, and secure communications hardware. She works closely with technical evaluators and program managers to ensure vendor solutions meet stringent performance, interoperability, and reliability requirements for high-risk operational environments. Green’s procurement approach prioritizes full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical procurement needs where technical capability and proven performance outweigh socioeconomic preferences, ensuring the timely delivery of systems vital to national security. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 334210—Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing—indicating a specialization in the acquisition of sophisticated communication and sensor devices used in security monitoring systems. This includes the procurement of hardened communication terminals, embedded telemetry units, and integrated detection platforms that combine signal processing, GPS tracking, and real-time data transmission. Green’s expertise lies in navigating the intersection of commercial off-the-shelf technology and government-specific modifications required for secure, high-reliability deployment in transportation hubs.
