Agnes Winokur

Agnes Winokur serves as a key procurement professional within the Los Angeles CA Division Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, supporting the Department of Justice’s mission to maintain secure, compliant, and operational federal facilities. She manages the acquisition of specialized architectural metalwork and structural components critical to the integrity and security of DEA operational infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—with a consistent focus on high-security, code-compliant construction elements such as reinforced metal grilles, secure door assemblies, and custom fabricated architectural hardware. Her work ensures that DEA facilities meet federal security standards while maintaining functional durability under demanding operational conditions. Winokur collaborates with a network of specialized manufacturers and fabricators skilled in ornamental and architectural metalwork, often engaging vendors with expertise in ballistic-rated materials, anti-tamper designs, and precision fabrication techniques. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with firms possessing certifications in industrial metal fabrication, ANSI/ASTM compliance, and experience delivering to federal security environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability over volume, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in delivering custom, high-integrity metal components for law enforcement and federal infrastructure. Her procurement activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on technical specificity rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the highly specialized nature of architectural metalwork required for secure federal facilities. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, she maintains an open and competitive marketplace that allows qualified small firms to compete on technical merit. Winokur’s primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 332323—Ornamental and Architectural Metal Work Manufacturing—encompassing custom-fabricated steel and aluminum structures, security grating, vault doors, and architectural railings engineered for high-threat environments. Her technical expertise lies in specifying materials and fabrication methods that meet DEA’s stringent security and durability standards, making her a critical liaison between engineering requirements and industrial manufacturing capabilities.
