Deborah Wrice

Deborah Wrice serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure, training technology, and operational support services essential to federal law enforcement readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with modernizing training facilities, enhancing physical infrastructure, and deploying secure communications and detection systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to equip law enforcement personnel with state-of-the-art environments and tools, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and operational security standards. Wrice maintains consistent partnerships with specialized vendors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc. for structural and facility upgrades, Range Cleaners Inc. for range maintenance and environmental compliance, Builders Supply Inc. for construction materials, Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc. for tactical and training equipment, and Contender Boats Inc. for maritime operational training assets. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical specificity, and performance-based contracting, fostering collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate domain expertise in law enforcement training environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 81.3% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 15.6% of awards to total small business set-asides and 3.1% to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Wrice’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511130 (Newspaper, Periodical, Book, and Directory Publishers), reflecting content and curriculum development for training programs, followed by 611699 (All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction) for specialized instructional services and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) for training simulation and learning management systems. Her technical expertise spans facility modernization, digital training platforms, and operational support logistics tailored to federal law enforcement needs.
