Bethany Stutler

Bethany Stutler serves as a key procurement professional within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, supporting the agency’s mission to ensure safe, secure, and compliant detention and removal operations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility operations, logistical support, and technical services critical to immigration enforcement infrastructure. Her work encompasses contract planning, solicitation development, and award administration for services ranging from facility maintenance to IT systems design, aligning procurement activities with DHS operational priorities and federal compliance standards. Stutler maintains established relationships with core contractors including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, which provide specialized services in detention support, health services, and operational consulting. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, mission-critical solutions across multiple detention sites. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and task order execution under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, ensuring responsive and compliant service delivery. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on capability and efficiency over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently allocates 11.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. Stutler’s primary NAICS focus areas include Computer Systems Design Services (541512) and Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), indicating strong demand for secure, compliant IT infrastructure supporting detainee management systems. She also procures Parking Lots and Garages (812930) and Hotel/Motel Services (721110) to support transient detention logistics, alongside Footwear Manufacturing (316210) for detainee apparel needs. Her expertise lies in integrating operational, logistical, and technical procurement domains to sustain complex detention and removal operations.
