Christopher K. Gloyd

Christopher K. Gloyd serves as a Contracting Officer within the Preparedness SECTION (PRE20) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he manages the acquisition of professional and educational support services critical to national resilience efforts. His role centers on ensuring the agency’s operational readiness through the procurement of expert consulting, training, and capacity-building solutions that strengthen incident management frameworks and workforce development programs. Gloyd oversees full lifecycle contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DHS strategic priorities. Gloyd maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily professional organizations and educational support providers who deliver technical advisory services, emergency response training, and organizational development solutions. While no specific contractor names are available, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in emergency management, public safety, and federal workforce training. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight. Gloyd’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach suggests a prioritization of technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic targeting, though it does not preclude small business participation through unrestricted avenues. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 813920 (Professional Organizations), accounting for two-thirds of his portfolio, where he acquires expert consulting services in emergency planning, incident command systems, and preparedness training. The remaining third centers on NAICS 611710 (Educational Support Services), supporting curriculum development, certification programs, and workforce upskilling initiatives. Gloyd’s expertise lies in procuring high-value, knowledge-based services that directly enhance the federal emergency response infrastructure.
