Kimberly Leezer Himes

Kimberly Leezer Himes serves as a Contract Specialist within Mission Support Washington (70CMSW), a critical support unit under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions to acquire mission-critical infrastructure and operational services that sustain federal law enforcement activities, including detainee management and tactical response capabilities. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with agency priorities to enhance agent safety and operational readiness, typically involving facility-related services, maintenance, and logistical support. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering timely, cost-effective solutions that meet high-risk operational demands. Kimberly works closely with a broad range of vendors specializing in facility operations and infrastructure support, though no primary contractor relationships are currently dominant in her portfolio. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with proven experience in federal facility management, parking operations, and related support services. She maintains a professional, transparent procurement process, fostering competitive bidding environments and ensuring vendor accountability through rigorous performance monitoring and contract administration. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency decision to prioritize operational urgency and vendor capacity over socioeconomic set-asides, resulting in a contracting environment focused on capability and reliability rather than socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she remains compliant with all federal small business outreach requirements and evaluates all qualified vendors on technical merit and performance history. Kimberly’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), indicating a specialized domain in facility infrastructure management, including vehicle access control, parking operations, maintenance, and related site services. Her expertise lies in procuring turnkey facility support solutions that ensure seamless, secure, and efficient operations at high-traffic enforcement and detention sites, demonstrating deep technical knowledge in civil infrastructure contracting within federal law enforcement environments.
