Joe Ohene

Joe Ohene serves as a contracting professional within the Administration Facilities Training Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he supports the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to border security missions. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurements focused on facility maintenance, support services, and related infrastructure systems, ensuring that physical assets remain functional, safe, and aligned with mission-critical operational requirements. His work directly enables the agency’s ability to sustain its nationwide network of border patrol facilities through timely and compliant contract actions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Ohene engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, primarily in facilities management and support services, fostering partnerships with both large-scale service providers and small businesses capable of delivering specialized maintenance, cleaning, security support, and facility modernization solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing responsiveness, compliance, and performance reliability across contract lifecycle phases. A strong advocate for small business participation, Ohene consistently structures solicitations to maximize opportunities under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program, with nearly half of his acquisitions reserved for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to promote equitable access and foster growth among qualified small firms, though he does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides as primary mechanisms. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), indicating deep expertise in grounds maintenance, custodial services, and facility operations. He also procures ancillary services including accounting support and computer peripheral equipment, demonstrating a broad understanding of the integrated support systems required to sustain federal operational infrastructure.
