Leila S. Miller

Leila S. Miller serves as a Contracting Officer at the Headquarters Defense Media Activity (HQ DMA), where she manages the acquisition of multimedia content, broadcast infrastructure, and communications systems critical to sustaining troop morale and delivering strategic messaging across global military audiences. Her portfolio encompasses end-to-end procurement of digital media platforms, broadcast equipment, and secure content delivery networks, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for information assurance and operational readiness. She plays a pivotal role in executing contracts that support the agency’s mission to modernize media capabilities while maintaining compliance with federal acquisition regulations and cybersecurity requirements. Miller’s contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, partnering with both large-scale technology integrators and specialized small businesses in media production and communications hardware. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms possessing expertise in broadcast engineering, digital asset management, and secure streaming technologies. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and agile delivery models suited to dynamic media environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 32.6% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs. Though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand market access for qualified small entities in the defense media ecosystem. Miller’s primary NAICS focus lies in 511210 (Motion Picture and Video Production), reflecting her leadership in acquiring multimedia content creation services, followed by 334220 for broadcast and wireless communications equipment. She routinely procures professional-grade video production systems, satellite transmission hardware, and digital signage infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the intersection of media operations and defense communications technology.
