Althea Robinson

Althea Robinson serves as a Contractor supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Justice Enforcement Headquarters under the Department of Justice, where she plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s forensic and cyber-enabled investigative capabilities through strategic procurement. She manages acquisitions aligned with modernizing forensic laboratory instrumentation, securing digital evidence systems, and deploying advanced analytical tools that support national security and criminal investigations. Her work focuses on technical services that ensure the integrity, scalability, and compliance of evidence analysis infrastructure, bridging operational needs with federal acquisition regulations to deliver mission-critical solutions under tight compliance and security constraints. Robinson maintains primary contracting relationships with VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., both of which provide specialized equipment and support services tailored to law enforcement and forensic environments. Her vendor partnerships emphasize established providers with proven expertise in secure hardware, field-deployable forensic tools, and mission-specific surveillance systems. While these two contractors dominate her portfolio, she also engages a broader network of smaller vendors to ensure flexibility and responsiveness in rapidly evolving technical domains. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with half of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded without set-asides. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition and innovation among small businesses while maintaining access to qualified, large-capacity vendors when technical scale or urgency demands it. Robinson’s primary NAICS focus areas are 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 561621 (Security Systems Services), reflecting her specialization in integrated digital forensic platforms, secure data transmission systems, and cybersecurity-enabled evidence management tools. She consistently procures custom software development, networked laboratory instrumentation, and end-to-end security solutions that meet FBI standards for data integrity, chain-of-custody tracking, and classified information handling.
