Abigail Marr

Abigail Marr supports the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s mission to advance forensic science and digital intelligence through strategic procurement of critical technology and equipment. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement activities center on acquiring advanced analytical instrumentation, secure communications systems, and custom software solutions that enhance evidence analysis and cyber-enabled investigations. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring the FBI’s forensic laboratories and digital forensics units are equipped with modern, reliable, and compliant technologies aligned with national security standards. Her acquisitions typically involve high-integrity systems requiring strict adherence to federal cybersecurity and chain-of-custody protocols. Marr maintains consistent relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., which supply specialized forensic hardware, field equipment, and secure data collection tools. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven track records in law enforcement and government-grade instrumentation, suggesting a focus on reliability, compliance, and long-term support. While she engages with a small number of dominant suppliers, her portfolio also includes niche providers delivering mission-critical components under general procurement channels. Her contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 95.5% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, indicating a primary emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic targeting. However, she does allocate 4.5% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation where competitive, qualified vendors exist. Marr’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting a strong demand for tailored forensic software, data analysis platforms, and digital evidence management systems. She also procures computer peripheral equipment and computing infrastructure services under NAICS 423430 and 518210, underscoring her expertise in securing integrated, secure, and scalable IT environments for forensic and intelligence operations.
