DHS Contract Procurement Policy Shift Under Mullin
The change applies to all DHS components including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Noem's 2025 memo caused delays in 1,034 FEMA contracts as of September 8, 2025.
Mullin will only review contracts over $25M, not micromanaging.
CBP and ICE rely on contracting for border enforcement and logistics.
DHS faces partial shutdown but CBP/ICE operate with 2024 funding.
Mullin reevaluates detention and infrastructure plans under fiscal constraints.
