Courtney E. Middleton

Courtney Middleton serves as a key procurement professional within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), supporting the Acquisition and Property Management Division’s mission to secure mission-critical technologies and operational resources. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions across technical, logistical, and administrative domains, Middleton facilitates the procurement of forensic tools, detection systems, and specialized support services essential to ATF’s law enforcement and public safety objectives. Her portfolio includes high-priority contracts for IT modernization, laboratory equipment, and operational logistics, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency strategic goals. Middleton maintains established relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION for legal and regulatory resources, EMPIRE HOSPITALITY LLC and BCS-MADISON LODGING LLC for temporary lodging and travel support, and APPLE TEN ALABAMA SERVICES, LLC and APPLE SEVEN SERVICES SOUTHEAST, L.P. for facility and logistics services. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to vendor engagement, combining large-capacity service providers with niche specialists to meet ATF’s dynamic operational needs across multiple jurisdictions. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate effort to foster economic inclusion and leverage small business innovation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, her consistent use of small business contracting demonstrates a commitment to broadening the supplier base and enhancing competition. Middleton’s primary NAICS focus areas include Other Computer Related Services, Computer Training, Electronic Computer Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, and Used Car Dealers—reflecting a broad yet targeted procurement strategy that spans IT infrastructure, training systems, hardware fabrication, and fleet logistics. This diverse technical portfolio underscores her expertise in acquiring both high-tech forensic tools and essential operational assets critical to ATF’s field readiness and investigative capabilities.
