Mimi Pham

Mimi Pham serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses procurement of apparel, textile, and industrial manufacturing goods, with a strong emphasis on transparent, competitively awarded contracts that align with socioeconomic goals and operational readiness needs. Mimi collaborates closely with a diverse base of small and mid-sized vendors, particularly those certified under small business programs, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards in apparel and textile manufacturing, often working with suppliers who have demonstrated capacity for scalable production and timely fulfillment under tight timelines. Her procurement strategy reflects a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity for small businesses. An additional 13.3% of her awards are competed under the 8(a) Business Development Program, underscoring her active support for disadvantaged entrepreneurs. Her consistent use of set-asides aligns with federal priorities to promote equitable access to government contracting. Mimi’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 315210 (Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors), reflecting her specialization in procuring uniforms, protective gear, and specialized textile products for government use. She also regularly manages acquisitions under related categories including Textile Bag and Canvas Mills, Broadwoven Fabric Mills, and Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing, indicating expertise in both soft goods and light industrial supply chains. Her domain knowledge encompasses material specifications, production timelines, and quality assurance protocols essential to federal operational requirements.
