Chon S. Son

Chon S. Son serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to equip federal law enforcement personnel with mission-critical infrastructure and services. In this role, Son manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on facilities modernization, technical equipment, and operational support systems essential to training readiness. Their acquisitions primarily involve construction services, specialized equipment, maintenance contracts, and maritime assets critical to law enforcement training environments, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Son maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in facility upgrades, environmental cleaning for training ranges, construction materials supply, heavy equipment maintenance, and law enforcement-specific watercraft. The relationships are characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based contract execution, and a focus on reliability in mission-critical delivery environments. A defining feature of Son’s contracting approach is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside preference across all procurements, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic goals under FAR 19.5. This policy ensures that every acquisition opportunity is reserved exclusively for small businesses, fostering equitable access and strengthening the capacity of small, locally rooted vendors to support federal law enforcement infrastructure. No other set-aside categories are utilized, reflecting a streamlined, high-impact strategy to maximize small business participation. While specific NAICS codes are not available, Son’s portfolio consistently targets construction, facility maintenance, specialized equipment supply, and maritime vessel procurement—domains requiring technical understanding of law enforcement training requirements, safety standards, and durable infrastructure. Their expertise lies in aligning procurement strategies with operational needs in high-use, high-safety environments, ensuring acquired goods and services meet the rigorous demands of federal law enforcement training.
