Evelyn Rivera

Evelyn Rivera serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize federal law enforcement training infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of specialized facilities, operational equipment, and technical systems essential to training readiness, including ranges, protective gear, communications platforms, and safety-critical infrastructure. She ensures all acquisitions align with DHS and DOJ standards for law enforcement operational integrity, emphasizing reliability, durability, and compliance with federal safety protocols. Rivera maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in law enforcement-specific environments—particularly those capable of delivering custom-built training ranges, ballistic containment systems, marine patrol vessels, and facility maintenance services. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and on-time delivery over volume, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in mission alignment. Rivera’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for highly specialized, non-commoditized goods and services where narrow vendor pools and stringent performance requirements dominate. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 332992—Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing—reflecting deep expertise in the acquisition of live-fire training munitions, dummy rounds, and related ammunition handling systems. This specialization underscores her technical command over defense-grade ordnance logistics, safety-compliant storage solutions, and the regulatory frameworks governing federal ammunition procurement under ATF and DoD guidelines.
