Jerry J Neveleff

Jerry J. Neveleff serves as a key procurement lead within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, overseeing acquisitions critical to the secure and compliant operation of federal immigration detention facilities. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts related to facility infrastructure, personnel security, and detainee services, ensuring alignment with DHS operational standards and regulatory compliance. He routinely handles complex service and construction acquisitions requiring stringent performance metrics, security clearances, and interagency coordination, positioning him at the intersection of operational readiness and federal contracting integrity. Neveleff maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, each providing specialized capabilities in detention facility construction, medical and behavioral health services, and security operations. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven experience in high-security environments and federal compliance frameworks. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagement and structured contract modifications to adapt to evolving operational demands. His procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a focus on technical merit and operational necessity over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the unit’s mission-critical nature and stringent security requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, vendors must still meet rigorous qualification standards regardless of size. Neveleff’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 236210 (industrial building construction), 922190 (other justice and public order activities), and 561612 (security guards and patrol services), each representing approximately one-third of his portfolio. He specializes in acquiring hardened detention infrastructure, law enforcement support services, and 24/7 security operations, demonstrating deep expertise in federal facility management and immigration enforcement logistics.
