Gail A Ashurst

Gail A. Ashurst serves as Chief of the Procurement Field Branch at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she leads the strategic acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and support services essential to federal law enforcement training and operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the full lifecycle of procurement activities for facility construction, utility systems, and specialized equipment, ensuring alignment with evolving training curricula and security standards. She oversees contract execution for complex, high-stakes projects that directly support the physical and technological infrastructure of a national training hub, requiring rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting principles. Ashurst maintains longstanding partnerships with key contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in institutional construction, marine equipment, and facility maintenance. These relationships are characterized by consistent performance, technical reliability, and responsiveness to mission-critical timelines. Her team prioritizes vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple trades, often coordinating multi-disciplinary contracts to ensure seamless facility modernization. Ashurst’s procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized in recent award activity. While she does not currently employ socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her office maintains rigorous standards for vendor qualification, ensuring all contractors meet stringent performance, safety, and compliance benchmarks. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in electrical (238210), HVAC (238220), and miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing (335999). This reflects deep expertise in constructing and upgrading training facilities with integrated security systems, specialized ranges, and mission-specific infrastructure tailored to federal law enforcement needs.
