Debbie McFarland Miller

Debbie A. Miller serves as a Contract Support specialist at the Securities and Exchange Commission, providing critical procurement assistance to advance the agency’s mission of market integrity and investor protection. She supports the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technology-driven solutions, including software development, data analytics platforms, and cybersecurity systems essential to market surveillance and regulatory enforcement. Her role involves coordinating requirements analysis, solicitation drafting, contract administration, and vendor performance monitoring, ensuring compliance with FAR and SEC-specific procurement policies. She primarily handles complex IT and professional services contracts that enable real-time financial data processing and fraud detection capabilities. Miller maintains strong working relationships with leading federal contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Maximus Federal Consulting, Team GreenZone JV, and Procentrix, LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-capacity IT service providers with proven expertise in financial systems modernization, data integration, and regulatory compliance technology. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging established vendor capabilities to deliver scalable, secure, and mission-critical solutions aligned with SEC’s strategic technology roadmap. Her contracting patterns show a predominant preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of required capabilities. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business participation without compromising mission needs. Miller’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 423430 (Computer and Software Merchant Wholesalers), underscoring deep specialization in financial technology, custom software development, and enterprise software procurement. She regularly supports acquisitions for market analytics platforms, algorithmic trading surveillance tools, and secure data aggregation systems, reinforcing the SEC’s technological edge in regulatory oversight.
