Alice Mihill

Alice I. Mihill serves as a key procurement professional within the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), supporting the agency’s mission to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and radiation-emitting products through strategic acquisition planning. She manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction contracts focused on technical consulting, regulatory science support, and public communications services critical to CDRH’s pre-market review and post-market surveillance activities. Her acquisitions are instrumental in enabling science-based decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and the evaluation of emerging technologies such as connected health devices and cybersecurity-enhanced systems. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Mihill maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including management consulting firms, scientific technical advisors, and public relations specialists who provide expert support in regulatory strategy, risk communication, and stakeholder outreach. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, performance-based contracts that align with CDRH’s evolving regulatory needs and innovation priorities. Mihill demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity in contracting, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 9.1% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster participation from small and disadvantaged businesses capable of delivering specialized regulatory and technical services. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (professional and management development training) and 541611 (administrative and general management consulting), reflecting a need for workforce development and strategic advisory services to support CDRH’s regulatory workforce. She also procures public relations and technical consulting services to enhance transparency and stakeholder engagement, reinforcing CDRH’s mission through informed communication and evidence-based policy support.
