Priya Ohal

Priya Ohal serves as a key procurement professional within the Departmental Operations Acquisition Division II, part of the Office of Procurement Operations at the Department of Homeland Security. She manages the acquisition of mission-enabling services critical to national security and emergency response operations, with a focus on information services, management consulting, and specialized training solutions. Her work directly supports operational readiness by ensuring timely access to high-quality, compliant procurement outcomes that enhance public communication and logistical coordination. Ohal typically handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous evaluation of technical proposals, past performance, and cost realism, often involving long-term service delivery frameworks. Her contractor relationships span a broad spectrum of vendors delivering transit and ground passenger transportation support as well as professional and management development training services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing demonstrated expertise in federal compliance, agile service delivery, and mission-critical logistics. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contract performance oversight to ensure accountability and mission alignment. Ohal’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the agency’s need for scalable, high-capacity service providers capable of rapid deployment in dynamic operational environments. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 485999 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation) and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She procures specialized transportation coordination services, emergency response logistics support, and leadership development programs tailored to federal workforce readiness. Her technical expertise centers on integrating training and mobility solutions into broader homeland security frameworks, ensuring alignment with DHS operational requirements and interagency coordination standards.
