Mia McFarland

Mia McFarland serves as a Contract Specialist within Mission Support Washington under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical services and infrastructure to sustain high-risk law enforcement and detention operations. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning purchases with operational priorities such as agent safety, tactical readiness, and facility sustainment. Her portfolio primarily supports technical and logistical functions essential to border security and detainee management, with a focus on delivering timely, compliant, and mission-effective solutions. Mia collaborates with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in security infrastructure and facility operations, fostering relationships with firms capable of delivering rapid-response services and durable, high-performance solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with contractors possessing demonstrated expertise in security systems integration, facility maintenance, and operational support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure accountability and mission alignment. Mia’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-asides. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than targeting socioeconomic categories, suggesting she prioritizes capability, capacity, and readiness over socioeconomic classifications in her acquisition decisions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) and 561621 (Security Systems Services), indicating deep specialization in facility infrastructure support and physical security systems. She routinely acquires services related to access control, surveillance integration, perimeter security, and facility maintenance—domains requiring technical precision and adherence to federal security standards. Her expertise lies in bridging operational needs with commercial solutions that meet DHS compliance and resilience requirements.
