About this agency
The Department of Homeland Security Chief Human Capital Officer is a sub-agency civilian office that procures human resources, workforce development, and organizational-management services to support DHS personnel and talent operations across the department.
Since 2011, the Chief Human Capital Officer has awarded 154 federal contracts totaling $269.1 million in combined potential value, with $195.7 million obligated to date (73% of potential value). Contract activity has declined over the past five years, falling from 19 awards in 2022 to 11 in 2024, though volume rebounded slightly to 13 awards in 2025 and 17 year-to-date in 2026. The contract base is highly fragmented across 88 distinct prime contractors; the top five contractors by award count — Economic Systems Inc., Healthequity Inc., C.

Eighty-six percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; Small Business awards account for 10% (16 awards), with minimal activity in Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and Woman-Owned Small Business Sole Source categories (1 award each, totaling 3% of the portfolio).
