Christine M. Young

Christine M. Young serves as a Contract Specialist for Mission Support Washington under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where she manages mission-critical procurement activities that sustain federal law enforcement operations. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for specialized equipment, operational services, and infrastructure essential to border security, detainee management, and tactical response. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities of agent safety and operational readiness. Christine routinely handles complex, high-stakes procurements requiring technical evaluation and risk mitigation, often involving non-standard or customized solutions for federal agents in high-risk environments. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented in available records, Christine’s procurement patterns suggest engagement with vendors capable of delivering specialized services and infrastructure support under tight operational timelines. Her working relationships likely include both large prime contractors with federal experience and small businesses capable of responsive, niche delivery—particularly those with expertise in facility operations and mission support logistics. Christine demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 75% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market competition for mission-critical requirements. However, she consistently reserves 25% of her portfolio for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels), suggesting she manages facility support contracts critical to detention and operational staging infrastructure. This includes maintenance, security, utilities, and ancillary services for federal facilities supporting ICE operations. Her technical expertise lies in facility sustainment and logistics support, ensuring that mission-critical sites remain fully operational under demanding federal requirements.
