Gabriella Marino

Gabriella Marino serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure, training equipment, and support services essential to federal law enforcement readiness. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements validation and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and alignment with FLETC’s strategic priorities in modernizing training environments and securing operational infrastructure. She routinely handles complex procurements for facility upgrades, technical systems, and specialized maintenance services that directly support law enforcement curriculum delivery and physical security standards. Marino 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., reflecting a focus on specialized vendors capable of delivering custom-built training assets, facility maintenance, and maritime operational equipment. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven experience in government-constrained environments, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships that ensure quality and timely delivery of mission-critical resources. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 42% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 4.8% designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in federal law enforcement support sectors. Marino’s primary NAICS focus includes Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (238210), Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance (811310), and Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (611310), reflecting her expertise in procuring infrastructure modernization, technical equipment servicing, and training support services. Her domain knowledge spans facility systems integration, law enforcement training equipment, and operational maintenance logistics within secure federal environments.
