Anna Bercaw serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical infrastructure and technical support services aligned with the FBI’s forensic science and digital intelligence priorities. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. She primarily handles construction, facility support, and specialized technical services that enable secure evidence analysis and operational readiness across FBI field offices and forensic laboratories. Bercaw maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., which provide specialized equipment and facility-related solutions tailored to law enforcement and forensic operations. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in secure equipment supply and infrastructure support, though she also engages a broader base of smaller vendors for niche or ancillary services. These partnerships are built on reliability, regulatory compliance, and alignment with FBI security protocols. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 80% of actions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a deliberate 20% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—favoring broad market access while actively enabling small business participation in non-core but mission-enabling categories. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on general small business eligibility to foster competitive bidding. Bercaw’s primary NAICS focus areas include 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), 221330 (Steam and Air-Conditioning Supply), and 511210 (Software Publishers). These reflect her role in procuring facility modernization, environmental control systems, and secure software platforms that support FBI’s forensic and digital infrastructure. Her expertise lies in integrating technical and physical infrastructure acquisitions to sustain the integrity of evidence handling and investigative operations.
