Barbara A. Rogers serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), under the Department of Justice. She is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical technologies that support forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. Her portfolio encompasses procurements for advanced analytical instrumentation, cyber-enabled investigative tools, and evidence management systems, ensuring alignment with FBI’s strategic priorities in modernizing laboratory capabilities and enhancing digital forensics. Rogers executes full and open competitions while adhering to FAR and agency-specific compliance protocols to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable solutions. Her primary contractor relationships are centered on VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., both of which provide specialized equipment and technical services aligned with law enforcement operational needs. While these firms represent the bulk of her active vendor engagements, she maintains a streamlined procurement approach focused on proven suppliers with demonstrated expertise in secure hardware and field-deployable systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering ruggedized, compliant solutions under tight operational timelines. Barbara’s set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward full and open competition, with 92.3% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 7.7% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), indicating a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all small business participation requirements. Her industry focus centers on NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), reflecting her procurement of digital forensics software, secure data infrastructure, and laboratory testing services.
