Arlington, Va.-based private contractors earned more than $818 million or 29.5 percent of all Department of Homeland Security contracts during 2004, according to a recent study by Virginia Tech’s Department of Urban Affairs and Planning and Arlington Economic Development, Arlington. Federal procurement in Washington, D.C. for homeland security products and services almost tripled in the last four years, and the Metropolitan Statistical Area captured 51.9 % of the nation’s total procurement in homeland security in 2004. (For purposes of the study, the homeland security industry is characterized as aerospace, audio and visual equipment, communications equipment, computer systems design, industrial machinery, technical and managerial consulting services, navigational and measurement instruments, and R&D services.) Most of the top contractors are the big IT systems integrators.
The study is full of charts, tables and factoids, including:
DHS funding priorities and investment areas
Total federal procurement compared to homeland security, 2001 to 2004
Ranking of homeland security procurement by metropolitan statistical area, 2004
Arlington County procurement by DHS agency
