Minh Ha Do

Minh Ha Do serves as a Contract Specialist within the Mitigation SECTION (MIT60) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that advance national resilience to natural disasters. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for engineering and technical services critical to flood risk modeling, hazard mitigation planning, and the operational integrity of the National Flood Insurance Program. She manages competitive and non-competitive solicitations under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal mandates while aligning procurements with FEMA’s mission of reducing long-term disaster risk through data-driven decision-making. Minh Ha Do collaborates with a broad network of engineering and technical service providers, primarily engaged through performance-based contracts for risk analysis, geospatial modeling, and infrastructure resilience assessments. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in hydrologic modeling, catastrophe risk assessment, and federal compliance frameworks. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical rigor, performance metrics, and contract closeout accountability. Minh Ha Do’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified technical expertise rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the specialized and mission-critical nature of mitigation engineering services. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her process remains transparent and inclusive, enabling eligible small firms to compete on equal footing. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing specialized technical work such as floodplain mapping, structural vulnerability analysis, and resilience modeling. She consistently procures services requiring advanced analytical capabilities, GIS integration, and adherence to FEMA’s Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) standards, ensuring that all acquisitions support scientifically grounded, federally compliant mitigation outcomes.
