Michael J DeCrescio

Michael J. DeCrescio serves as a key procurement lead within Mission Support Washington under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain federal law enforcement operations. His work centers on securing specialized equipment, operational services, and infrastructure essential to border security, detainee management, and tactical response missions. He oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements definition to award and administration—ensuring alignment with DHS and ICE strategic priorities for agent safety and operational readiness. His portfolio primarily includes security systems, protective services, and technical support solutions critical to high-risk environments. DeCrescio maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of contractors, including firms specializing in physical security systems, armed patrol services, and mission-critical engineering support. While no single vendor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages with vendors holding relevant certifications and proven capabilities in law enforcement support domains. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, compliance with FAR standards, and vendor accountability in delivering time-sensitive, high-integrity services under dynamic operational conditions. His procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 75.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, he actively promotes small business participation, with over 20% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and approximately 4% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures market competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to foster socioeconomic diversity in the contractor base. DeCrescio’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting the agency’s reliance on integrated surveillance, access control, and on-site protective services. He also procures specialized electrical components and engineering services to support mission infrastructure. His technical expertise spans the integration of physical security systems with operational workflows, demonstrating deep familiarity with the unique demands of federal detention and tactical response environments.
