Fang-Ting Manson

Fang-Ting Manson serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to enhance the readiness and operational capacity of federal law enforcement personnel. Responsible for managing strategic acquisitions of mission-critical infrastructure, training technologies, and support services, Manson ensures that procurement activities align with evolving law enforcement training standards and secure operational requirements. Their portfolio encompasses facility modernization, detection systems, communications infrastructure, and specialized training equipment, with a focus on delivering reliable, scalable solutions that meet rigorous federal security and performance benchmarks. Manson maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 established vendors with proven expertise in constructing and maintaining law enforcement training facilities, managing range operations, supplying specialized equipment, and providing marine-based tactical support. The working relationships are characterized by repeat engagement, performance-based evaluations, and a focus on technical reliability over transient vendor relationships. While the majority of acquisitions—70.6%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Manson consistently facilitates 29.4% of awards under Total Small Business Set-Asides in accordance with FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. This pattern indicates a preference for broad-based small business engagement grounded in capability rather than certification. Manson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting demand for tailored software solutions supporting training management and simulation systems. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 334511 for advanced detection and navigation instrumentation, NAICS 488119 for airport operations support, and NAICS 541930 for translation and interpretation services critical to multilingual law enforcement training. Their expertise lies at the intersection of technical systems integration and operational training infrastructure.
