Monica King

Monica King serves as a Contract Specialist within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting federal detention and removal operations. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical services that uphold detainee care, facility security, and operational integrity. She routinely handles service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with a focus on facilities support, janitorial services, and operational logistics contracts that sustain the agency’s detention infrastructure. Monica maintains consistent procurement relationships with key contractors including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, all of which provide specialized detention support services ranging from health services coordination to facility operations management. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure alignment with DHS standards. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, compliance, and service quality. A strong advocate for small business participation, Monica prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 75% of her acquisitions to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote economic opportunity and enhance competition within the detention services sector. Her portfolio consistently excludes large business set-asides, reinforcing a commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals and equitable access for small, disadvantaged firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting her expertise in managing contract vehicles for custodial, maintenance, and facility operations support within secure detention environments. She specializes in procuring integrated service packages that ensure hygienic, secure, and compliant detention facilities, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in federal detention operations and service delivery standards.
