Dagmar L. Miles

Dagmar L. Miles serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisition processes within a federal agency focused on advanced transportation and defense-related manufacturing. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and agency-specific procurement policies. She specializes in high-technical, mission-critical procurements involving aerospace and heavy machinery systems, often coordinating with engineering and logistics stakeholders to align contractual deliverables with operational needs. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Dagmar maintains a robust network of vendors capable of meeting stringent performance, quality, and certification standards in aerospace and industrial equipment manufacturing. Her working relationships are characterized by a preference for firms with proven technical expertise in precision manufacturing, quality assurance systems such as AS9100, and supply chain resilience. She engages regularly with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure competitive, compliant, and mission-effective outcomes. Dagmar’s procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 86.5% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. Nevertheless, she demonstrates a consistent commitment to small business participation, allocating 13.0% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a minimal but intentional 0.5% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Her approach balances regulatory mandates with operational efficiency, ensuring socioeconomic goals are met without compromising mission readiness. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336412—Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing—accounting for 96.5% of her acquisitions. This specialization underscores her deep expertise in procuring propulsion systems, turbine components, and related aviation-grade hardware. She also handles minor volumes of procurement under related manufacturing categories, including mining machinery and sealing devices, reflecting a narrowly focused but technically sophisticated acquisition portfolio.
