Mia Blessing

Mia Blessing serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in industrial instrumentation and custom software development. She plays a critical role in aligning agency technology and operational needs with compliant, high-performance solutions, ensuring acquisitions adhere to federal contracting regulations and strategic modernization goals. Her portfolio primarily encompasses the procurement of specialized industrial process control systems and bespoke computer programming services, often requiring technical evaluation of sensor networks, data acquisition hardware, and real-time monitoring software. Her work supports mission-critical infrastructure requiring precision, reliability, and cybersecurity compliance. Mia cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in industrial automation and software engineering, with a preference for firms possessing deep domain expertise in process instrumentation and embedded systems development. She engages regularly with both large-tier suppliers and niche technical contractors capable of delivering customized solutions under performance-based contract structures. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical evaluation, lifecycle cost analysis, and vendor performance metrics to ensure long-term system integrity and interoperability. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 85.7% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical merit and market responsiveness. However, she consistently allocates 14.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation. While she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, her use of total small business set-asides ensures broader access for qualified small firms with relevant technical capabilities. Mia’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334513 for industrial measurement and control instruments and NAICS 541511 for custom computer programming. She routinely acquires precision sensors, process controllers, data loggers, and software systems designed for real-time industrial monitoring and automation. Her expertise spans technical domains including process control systems, SCADA integration, and custom algorithm development for industrial data analytics, positioning her as a key liaison between engineering requirements and acquisition execution.
