Jamillah Timmons

Jamillah Timmons serves as a secondary procurement support specialist within the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) at the U.S. Department of State, contributing to the agency’s mission of strengthening global law enforcement capacity and advancing rule of law abroad. Though not the primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, market research, and contract administration for technical and operational support services. Her work supports high-priority international programs involving criminal justice reform, investigative capacity building, and counternarcotics initiatives, often requiring specialized technical and IT-enabled solutions tailored to complex overseas environments. While no primary contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Timmons collaborates with a diverse range of vendors delivering services critical to INL’s global operations, including background investigation firms, cybersecurity infrastructure providers, and systems design consultants. Her procurement patterns suggest a preference for competitively awarded, performance-based contracts that align with mission-critical requirements, often involving cross-functional coordination with technical advisors and foreign partners. Timmons demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining active engagement with small business programs—12.5% of awards are allocated to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and another 12.5% to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a strategic commitment to fostering small business participation without compromising mission readiness or competition. Her procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: investigation and personal background check services, computer systems design, data processing and web hosting, automobile and light-duty vehicle manufacturing, and small arms ammunition manufacturing. These reflect INL’s operational needs for secure transportation, forensic and intelligence support, digital infrastructure, and law enforcement equipment—demonstrating her expertise in procuring dual-use and mission-specific goods and services for international security programs.
