Virginia Phelps

Virginia Phelps serves as the Force Protection Industries Point of Contact, responsible for overseeing procurement activities related to physical security infrastructure and protective systems for federal facilities. In this role, she ensures acquisitions align with national security standards and operational resilience requirements, managing the full lifecycle of contracts from requirement definition to contract closeout. Her portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction projects that enhance force protection capabilities, including perimeter security systems, blast-resistant construction, access control integration, and hardened facility modifications. She collaborates closely with design teams, engineering specialists, and security analysts to translate mission-critical needs into technically sound solicitation documents. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, her procurement pattern indicates a preference for open competition with no set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market engagement and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. This approach suggests she prioritizes performance, compliance with Department of Defense and DHS security benchmarks, and proven track records in high-risk construction environments. Vendor partnerships are likely formed with firms experienced in GSA Schedule 70, Federal Supply Schedule construction categories, and certified construction managers with security clearance infrastructure experience. Her contracting activity is exclusively aligned with NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — indicating a specialized focus on the design and build of secure facilities rather than equipment or services. She procures turnkey construction solutions involving reinforced concrete, ballistic-rated glazing, intrusion detection integration, and compliance with UFC standards for force protection. Her domain expertise lies in the intersection of architectural design and physical security engineering, ensuring constructed environments meet evolving threat profiles while maintaining operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
