Tracey Harriot

Tracey Harriot serves as a key procurement lead within the Detention Compliance and Removals unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, overseeing the acquisition of critical logistics and operational support services essential to the safe and compliant detention and removal of individuals under immigration enforcement. Responsible for managing contract lifecycle activities from solicitation to award and administration, Harriot ensures alignment with DHS and ICE mission priorities, particularly in transportation, detainee movement, and facility support. Their acquisitions primarily focus on couriers and express delivery services, enabling timely and secure movement of personnel and documentation across detention and removal operations nationwide. Harriot maintains consistent working relationships with a small cohort of primary contractors, including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, all of which provide specialized logistics and operational support tailored to immigration enforcement needs. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in secure transportation, detainee handling protocols, and compliance-driven service delivery. The contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, with a focus on long-term vendor stability and mission alignment. A strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity is evident in Harriot’s procurement patterns, with 66.7% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, fostering competition and innovation among qualified vendors while meeting federal small business goals. The remaining 33.3% of awards are issued as open competitions, typically when specialized capabilities or urgent operational needs require broader market engagement. The sole NAICS code focus—492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services)—underscores Harriot’s technical specialization in secure, time-sensitive transportation logistics. All procurements center on express delivery of personnel, documents, and equipment across federal detention and removal infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with DHS security protocols, interagency coordination, and compliance with immigration enforcement timelines.
