Miranda Mowrey

Miranda Mowrey serves as a key procurement lead within the Incident Support Section (ISS70) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, responsible for enabling rapid acquisition of critical infrastructure and survivor support services during domestic emergencies. Her role centers on ensuring operational continuity through timely procurement of essential goods and services that sustain life-sustaining operations in austere environments. She manages a portfolio of time-sensitive, mission-critical contracts aligned with FEMA’s emergency response and recovery objectives, focusing on logistics, materials supply, and air transport capabilities essential to disaster-affected regions. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Mowrey maintains relationships with a broad network of commercial suppliers and transport providers capable of delivering under high-pressure, non-routine conditions. Her contracting approach prioritizes agility, scalability, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations, often engaging vendors with proven capacity for rapid deployment and just-in-time delivery. She works closely with firms possessing specialized logistics networks and infrastructure support expertise to meet dynamic operational demands. Mowrey’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing vendor capacity and speed over socioeconomic classifications. This approach underscores a mission-driven priority to secure the most capable and available resources during time-critical emergencies, rather than leveraging small business programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423330 (roofing, siding, and insulation materials) and 481212 (nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation), reflecting expertise in acquiring building materials for temporary shelters and emergency infrastructure, as well as urgent air cargo services to deliver life-sustaining supplies to isolated or damaged areas. This dual specialization highlights her technical command over supply chain resilience and emergency logistics operations.
