Tamika Miller

Tamika Miller serves as a Procurement Specialist within the General Services Department of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize and maintain Laurel, Maryland’s critical water and wastewater infrastructure. In her secondary procurement role, she facilitates the acquisition of specialized concrete piping systems and related hydraulic components essential to pipeline rehabilitation and expansion projects. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating technical proposals, ensuring compliance with federal and state procurement regulations, and coordinating with engineering and operations teams to align contractual deliverables with infrastructure priorities. She primarily handles construction-related contracts requiring adherence to ASTM and AWWA standards for durable, high-pressure water distribution systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, Miller works with a broad spectrum of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in precast and centrifugally cast concrete pipe, joint sealing systems, and trenchless installation technologies. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle cost analysis, and vendor reliability over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering engineered solutions for aging utility networks. Miller’s contracting activity reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical capability and production capacity to meet mission-critical infrastructure timelines. Her procurement expertise is concentrated in NAICS 327332 — Concrete Pipe Manufacturing — where she sources high-density concrete pipe, reinforced concrete structures, and associated fittings designed for underground water and sewer applications. She possesses deep familiarity with material specifications, pressure ratings, joint integrity standards, and installation methodologies required for sustainable, leak-resistant utility systems.
