Dennis G. Alber

Dennis G. Alber serves as Lead Contract Specialist at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the Department of Justice, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to national security and forensic operations. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with FBI-JEH’s strategic priorities in forensic science modernization, secure facility operations, and evidence integrity systems. His portfolio primarily includes construction, facility systems, and specialized equipment contracts that support the agency’s physical and technical infrastructure needs. Alber maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., who provide specialized equipment and facility-related solutions tailored to law enforcement and forensic environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers capable of meeting the FBI’s stringent security and operational standards. He demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses while ensuring access to innovative, niche-capable vendors who can meet the FBI’s unique technical demands. Alber’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems (238220), fabricated metal products (332999), and institutional furniture (337127). These categories support the construction, renovation, and equipping of secure forensic laboratories, evidence storage facilities, and operational headquarters, requiring deep expertise in federal construction standards, GSA compliance, and secure facility specifications. His domain knowledge bridges procurement policy with technical facility requirements, ensuring acquisitions directly enable the FBI’s mission to safeguard public safety through advanced forensic and investigative capabilities.
