Amy Wire

Amy Wire serves as a Contract Specialist within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting secure detention operations and removal logistics. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts aligned with FAR guidelines. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with DHS and ICE operational standards while facilitating timely acquisition of essential services that uphold detainee care, facility security, and transportation integrity. Her portfolio primarily consists of service-based acquisitions requiring strict regulatory adherence and performance accountability. Amy maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, which provide specialized security, health services, and operational support to detention facilities. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in federal detention environments, often requiring cleared personnel, facility-specific certifications, and compliance with ICE Performance Based Standards. She engages these partners through competitive and non-competitive mechanisms, prioritizing risk mitigation and mission continuity in high-stakes operational contexts. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, Amy consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. She actively seeks qualified small businesses capable of delivering security, food services, and regulatory support, aligning with agency goals to broaden vendor diversity without compromising operational readiness or compliance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting her core mission to sustain safe detention environments. She also procures perishable food services under NAICS 311991 and regulatory compliance support under NAICS 926130, indicating expertise in multi-domain operational contracting that bridges security, health, and administrative functions within federal detention systems.
