Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific mission priorities. Miley specializes in professional services contracts that enhance incident management frameworks, workforce training, and operational planning capabilities, frequently engaging with certified public accounting firms to support financial oversight, audit readiness, and fiscal accountability across federal emergency programs. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Miley maintains a balanced procurement approach, engaging both large-scale professional services providers and small business vendors to fulfill mission-critical needs. Her working relationships are characterized by collaborative engagement, rigorous performance monitoring, and consistent adherence to competitive acquisition protocols. She actively fosters vendor partnerships that align with the agency’s emphasis on transparency, accountability, and sustainable capacity building. Miley demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between total small business set-asides and open competitions under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize small business participation without compromising competition or mission effectiveness. Her procurement practices consistently prioritize small business eligibility, particularly under the Total Small Business Set-Aside authority, reinforcing FEMA’s broader goals of inclusive economic opportunity in disaster preparedness. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541211, Offices of Certified Public Accountants, indicating a specialized need for financial auditing, compliance consulting, and internal control assessments. Miley’s expertise lies in procuring high-integrity accounting and financial advisory services that underpin the fiscal integrity of emergency funding streams, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently and in full compliance with federal standards.
