Aubrey Acemyan

Aubrey Acemyan serves as a Contract Specialist within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support mission-critical detention and removal operations, including facility services, security personnel, and logistical support. Her responsibilities encompass solicitation development, contract negotiation, performance monitoring, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Acemyan ensures that acquisitions align with DHS priorities for operational integrity, detainee welfare, and regulatory adherence, focusing primarily on service-based contracts that sustain secure detention environments. She maintains established relationships with key contractors including B.I. Incorporated, AcenTra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, which provide specialized security, health services, and operational support. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of delivering high-stakes, compliance-driven services in sensitive federal environments. Acemyan fosters collaborative, performance-oriented vendor relationships, emphasizing accountability, regulatory compliance, and consistent service delivery across multiple detention and transportation operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards directed toward 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions are open to full and open competition, she actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate capable small businesses with expertise in detention support services, aligning with federal mandates for equitable contracting opportunities. Acemyan’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), 561499 (All Other Business Support Services), and 221320 (Sewage Treatment Facilities), reflecting the diverse operational needs of detention facilities. She procures a range of services including armed and unarmed security, facility maintenance, medical and behavioral health support, and environmental compliance systems, demonstrating deep domain expertise in the intersection of detention operations and federal service contracting.
