Grace Garrity serves as a key procurement lead within Detention Management Laguna, operating under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical operational support services essential to the secure and humane detention of individuals. Her portfolio encompasses facilities support and security services, ensuring that detention infrastructure meets federal standards for safety, hygiene, and operational continuity. Garrity oversees full-spectrum contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily for service-based contracts requiring stringent compliance with DHS and ICE policy frameworks. Her contractor relationships are centered on vendors providing integrated facilities management and uniformed security operations. She routinely engages with prime contractors capable of delivering comprehensive, multi-service solutions, including custodial maintenance, utilities support, food services, and 24/7 armed and unarmed patrol operations. Garrity prioritizes vendors with proven experience in high-security environments and demonstrated compliance with federal detention standards, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that can scale operations across multiple detention sites while maintaining strict accountability. Garrity’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a mission-driven focus on operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement strategy emphasizes performance-based outcomes, quality assurance, and contractor capacity to meet stringent DHS compliance requirements. Her approach aligns with agency directives that prioritize mission-critical continuity over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting deep expertise in managing complex, service-integrated contracts for detention facility operations. She specializes in procuring custodial, janitorial, maintenance, and armed security services under performance work statements, ensuring contractors meet rigorous DHS detention care and security benchmarks.
