David L. Marmo

David L. Marmo serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs, where he manages the acquisition of specialized forensic, communications, and analytical instrumentation critical to national security and criminal investigations. His portfolio centers on procuring advanced laboratory equipment, secure wireless communication systems, and irradiation technologies that support evidence analysis and digital intelligence operations. Marmo ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the FBI’s strategic goals of modernizing forensic capabilities and enhancing the integrity of investigative tools. He handles complex, high-technical acquisitions requiring rigorous technical evaluations and risk mitigation strategies. Marmo maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., which supply mission-critical equipment for law enforcement and forensic applications. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven expertise in defense-grade and forensic-grade hardware, though he also engages with smaller vendors for niche capabilities. These partnerships are typically long-term, performance-based, and grounded in technical specificity rather than commodity procurement. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition (76.7%), Marmo actively supports socioeconomic programs, with nearly 18% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He also regularly utilizes HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for underserved small businesses within the technical procurement ecosystem. His primary NAICS focus includes 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment, 334516 for analytical laboratory instrumentation, and 334517 for irradiation apparatus manufacturing. These reflect deep expertise in procuring forensic spectrometers, digital evidence capture systems, and secure transmission hardware—technologies essential to the FBI’s mission of advancing scientific integrity in criminal investigations.
