Rosemarie Mendoza

Rosemarie Mendoza serves as a key procurement lead within Detention Management Laguna, operating under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical operational services that sustain federal detention facilities, including security, transportation, and facility support. Her role ensures compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to provide secure, humane, and logistically sound detention environments. Mendoza typically handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for service-based requirements, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven deliverables. Mendoza maintains established relationships with a network of qualified vendors specializing in detention operations support. Her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms offering security guard and patrol services, transit logistics, and facility maintenance solutions. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, compliance with DHS standards, and adherence to federal facility operational protocols. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement strategy prioritizes reliability, scalability, and readiness to respond to dynamic detention facility needs. Mendoza’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market access and selecting vendors based on technical capability and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic designations. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, she evaluates all offerors—regardless of size—on merit, ensuring competitive rigor and value-driven outcomes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly two-thirds of her acquisitions, followed by 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 485999 (All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation). She specializes in procuring integrated operational services including armed and unarmed detention security, inmate transportation, janitorial and maintenance support, and emergency response coordination, demonstrating deep domain expertise in federal detention infrastructure procurement.
