Joshua Bedrigal serves as a Contracting Officer within the Procurement Directorate Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical services and equipment that sustain the agency’s border security and canine enforcement operations. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized technical services, including computer systems design, custom programming, and management consulting, ensuring alignment with DHS operational priorities and regulatory compliance under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. His portfolio directly supports the deployment and maintenance of advanced detection instrumentation and secure facility infrastructure essential to Border Patrol readiness. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Bedrigal’s procurement activity reflects engagement with a diverse range of vendors, including both large-tier prime contractors and small businesses offering niche technical expertise. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven solicitations, with an emphasis on competitive bidding and clear statement of work definitions to ensure accountability and mission effectiveness. Bedrigal’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong but limited commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 92.9% of acquisitions conducted as unrestricted competitions and only 7.1% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic focus on broad market competition while still maintaining compliance with small business goals, though no evidence suggests active use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Other Management Consulting Services (541618), underscoring his technical expertise in IT modernization, analytical system integration, and operational support services. He also routinely procures specialized maintenance and repair services under NAICS 811219, indicating hands-on involvement in sustaining detection equipment and canine program infrastructure. His domain expertise centers on mission-critical technology and services that enhance border security capabilities through innovation and reliability.
