Jeremy Jenkins

Jeremy Jenkins supports the Detention Compliance and Removals unit within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, managing procurement activities critical to the safe, secure, and compliant operation of immigration detention facilities. He oversees acquisitions related to facility services, operational support, and mission-critical logistics, ensuring alignment with DHS and ICE regulatory standards. His role involves executing full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and performance monitoring—primarily for services that sustain detainee care, facility maintenance, and transportation operations. Jenkins maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, which provide specialized detention support, healthcare services, and operational consulting. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, compliance with federal detention standards, and performance-based outcomes. He engages with both large and small entities, fostering long-term partnerships that deliver scalable, mission-aligned solutions across multiple detention sites. His contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly half of all awards set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5 and a notable portion allocated through 8(a) competed programs. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while ensuring competitive, high-quality service delivery. His approach balances socioeconomic objectives with operational necessity, consistently integrating certified small businesses into critical support functions. Jenkins’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including janitorial services (561720), miscellaneous instructional services (611699), and all other amusement and recreation industries (713990), reflecting the diverse non-clinical needs of detention environments—from sanitation and facility upkeep to structured programming and administrative support. His technical expertise spans service-based contracting in secure operational settings, with an emphasis on compliance, accountability, and continuity of care under federal detention protocols.
