Mia White

Mia White serves as the primary contracting lead for W6QM Micc-ft Carson, a specialized unit under the Department of the Army focused on enabling elite special operations readiness, particularly for the 10th Special Forces Group (A). She manages the acquisition of mission-critical support services and equipment tailored to austere, cold-weather, and high-altitude operational environments, ensuring timely delivery of logistical, instructional, and infrastructure capabilities essential for mission success. Her portfolio centers on complex, mission-driven procurements requiring technical precision and rapid response, often involving classified or restricted requirements. White’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain operational superiority in extreme environments through agile and resilient contracting practices. She maintains consistent relationships with a select group of niche contractors, including TRONCONI SEGARRA & ASSOCIATES LLP, ALEUT FIELD SERVICES, LLC, and ROD’S ALASKAN BIG GAME & WILDERNESS GUIDE SERVICES LLC, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in remote field operations, survival training, and specialized equipment support. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms possessing domain-specific capabilities in arctic and mountainous terrain logistics, rather than broad-based service providers. These relationships are built on demonstrated technical proficiency and operational credibility in austere environments. White demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 85.7% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 14.3% competitively awarded to 8(a) certified firms. Her approach prioritizes small business participation as a strategic enabler of innovation and mission adaptability, consistently leveraging 8(a) and small business programs to cultivate a resilient supplier base capable of meeting unique special operations demands. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services), reflecting a heavy emphasis on protective infrastructure, surveillance, and site security for forward operating locations. She also procures facilities support services (561210), specialized construction finishing (238390), and construction machinery (333120) to sustain remote training and operational sites. Her technical domain expertise centers on expeditionary infrastructure, cold-weather equipment integration, and mission-critical security systems tailored for special operations forces.
