Donna E. Miller

Donna E. Miller serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard, operating under the Department of Homeland Security, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining and modernizing mission-critical infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on the construction, renovation, and utility upgrades of training centers, command facilities, and family housing installations, ensuring operational readiness across the Coast Guard’s national footprint. She oversees complex construction and engineering contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, coordinating with design teams and project managers to align procurement strategy with long-term infrastructure modernization goals. Her work directly supports the agency’s priority to maintain 24/7 maritime operational capabilities through resilient, code-compliant facilities. Miller maintains consistent working relationships with leading construction firms including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, RQ CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY, THE, reflecting a preference for experienced, full-service contractors capable of delivering large-scale commercial and industrial building projects. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, mechanical systems integration, and facility modernization, often requiring design-build or performance-based acquisition approaches. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions (67.7%), Miller demonstrates a measurable commitment to socioeconomic programs, regularly awarding contracts through HUBZone, 8(a), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, each accounting for approximately 9.7% of her portfolio. These efforts reflect a deliberate strategy to foster small business participation in federal infrastructure development while maintaining technical rigor and schedule compliance. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), with significant activity in 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction). She specializes in procuring integrated facility systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and site utilities, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with construction standards and federal facility requirements.
