Alberta L Abram

Alberta W. Abram serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to federal law enforcement training and operational readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract execution—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—focusing primarily on construction and engineering services that modernize training facilities and enhance physical infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in facility modernization, secure communications, and safety-critical systems. Abram maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Builders Supply Inc., and Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in building out training environments, installing specialized equipment, and delivering turnkey infrastructure solutions. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a reliance on established, technically capable firms with demonstrated performance in high-stakes, government-constrained environments. Her procurement approach prioritizes broad market access, with 64.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, yet she actively supports socioeconomic programs, allocating 17.6% to HUBZone firms and 11.8% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with an additional 5.9% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced strategy ensures competition while fostering opportunities for disadvantaged businesses in the construction and engineering sectors. Abram’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for 76.5% of her portfolio, followed by highway and bridge construction (237310) and engineering services (541330). She specializes in procuring facility upgrades, structural modifications, and site development projects that support evolving law enforcement training curricula, with deep familiarity in building codes, safety standards, and federal construction requirements.
