Jun Surla

Jun Surla serves as a Contract Specialist for Detention Management Laguna under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within the Department of Homeland Security, where they manage the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining federal detention operations. Responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under FAR guidelines, Surla ensures acquisitions align with mission-critical needs in security, facility maintenance, food services, and ancillary support. Their work directly supports the agency’s mandate to provide secure, humane, and logistically sound detention environments through compliant, transparent, and efficient contracting practices. Surla collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including security service providers, food manufacturing firms, and facility support contractors, fostering relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, Surla consistently engages both large-capability firms and small business concerns to meet operational demands, emphasizing vendor reliability, past performance, and compliance with federal standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Surla structures approximately 30.8% of procurements as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Although no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition within the detention support ecosystem. Surla’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals), indicating expertise in security operations, detainee nutrition systems, and facility energy infrastructure. Additional activity in 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) and 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) suggests a broad operational scope requiring specialized technical procurement knowledge across both human services and physical plant support domains.
