Abigail Wohlers

Abigail Wohlers serves as a key procurement professional within St. Joseph County Intermediate School District, where she oversees the acquisition of comprehensive physical security systems services to safeguard educational facilities and ensure operational resilience. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of proactive threat mitigation, managing contracts for integrated surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and security system monitoring solutions. She ensures all procurements align with federal and state compliance standards while prioritizing reliability, scalability, and interoperability of security infrastructure across district campuses. Wohlers handles full lifecycle acquisitions—from needs assessment and RFP development to contract award and performance evaluation—focusing on technology-driven security enhancements that support student and staff safety. Wohlers collaborates with a diverse range of security systems integrators and technology providers specializing in commercial-grade physical security solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent partnerships with firms offering end-to-end security system design, installation, and managed services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor performance, technical compliance, and long-term maintenance support, fostering relationships with contractors who demonstrate expertise in K-12 facility security standards and cybersecurity integration. Wohlers’ contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued under the No Set-Aside category. She does not currently prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical capability and service quality as primary selection criteria. This approach ensures access to the broadest pool of qualified vendors capable of delivering mission-critical security infrastructure. Her primary procurement focus is squarely on NAICS 561621—Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths)—encompassing surveillance camera systems, electronic access control, alarm monitoring, and integrated security management platforms. She specializes in procuring turnkey solutions that combine hardware, software, and professional services to create resilient, scalable security ecosystems tailored to the unique demands of public educational environments.
