Andrew J. Stickley

Andrew J. Stickley serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Justice Enterprise Hub, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize forensic science and digital intelligence capabilities. He manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on advanced communications equipment, audiovisual systems, and specialized software services critical to criminal investigations and evidence analysis. His work ensures the FBI’s forensic laboratories and field units are equipped with secure, high-performance technologies that meet stringent federal standards for data integrity and operational reliability. Stickley’s contracting activities are aligned with strategic initiatives to enhance cyber-enabled investigative tools and secure communication infrastructures. Stickley maintains consistent relationships with core contractors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., which supply mission-critical equipment for field operations and forensic support. His procurement approach favors established vendors with proven capabilities in manufacturing and integrating law enforcement-grade hardware and software systems. While he engages a limited number of primary contractors, his interactions reflect a pattern of long-term, performance-based partnerships rooted in technical specificity and compliance with federal security protocols. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 92% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 8% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating measured but deliberate support for small business participation in high-technical domains. Stickley’s primary NAICS focus areas include 334220 for wireless communications equipment, 334310 for audio/video systems, and 513210 and 541519 for software publishing and computer-related services. He specializes in procuring forensic instrumentation, secure transmission devices, digital evidence analysis platforms, and custom-developed analytical tools that support the FBI’s evolving digital forensics and intelligence infrastructure.
