Mimi D Mihova

Mimi D. Mihova serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, from requirement analysis and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through efficient, transparent, and legally sound contracting practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services acquisitions within the travel and tourism support sector, with a focus on procurement strategies that align with agency operational needs and fiscal stewardship principles. Mihova cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in travel agency services, including corporate travel management firms, itinerary planning providers, and logistics coordinators. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with both large-capability providers and small business entities that meet stringent performance and compliance standards. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on contractual clarity, performance-based metrics, and proactive vendor communication to ensure service continuity and regulatory adherence. Mihova’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a strategic emphasis on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing value, capability, and responsiveness over designated categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach underscores a commitment to fair and open procurement while maintaining rigorous evaluation criteria to ensure best-value outcomes. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 561510—Travel Agencies—which encompasses services such as international and domestic travel coordination, transportation booking, visa assistance, and travel risk management. Mihova’s expertise lies in evaluating vendor capabilities in complex travel logistics, compliance with federal travel regulations (FTR), and integration of travel systems with government-wide platforms. She brings specialized knowledge in managing service contracts that demand precision, scalability, and adherence to federal travel policy standards.
