Gregory Pitman

Gregory Pitman serves as a procurement professional within the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) under the U.S. Department of State, supporting global law enforcement capacity-building initiatives. He manages acquisitions aligned with INL’s mission to strengthen foreign judicial systems, enhance counternarcotics operations, and promote rule of law abroad. His portfolio includes contracts for technical advisory services, training equipment, forensic tools, and institutional support systems deployed in partner nations. Pitman operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance with national security and foreign policy objectives while prioritizing mission-critical outcomes over commercial efficiency. While specific contractor names are not available, Pitman’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for partnerships with firms capable of delivering specialized international development services, security equipment, and logistical support tailored to high-risk, low-infrastructure environments. He routinely engages vendors with expertise in cross-border program implementation, cultural adaptation, and rapid field deployment, often requiring security clearances and overseas operational experience. His working relationships emphasize agility, compliance with State Department protocols, and the ability to scale solutions across diverse geopolitical contexts. Pitman demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 44% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and 20% reserved specifically for women-owned small businesses. An additional 4% are allocated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting INL’s dedication to inclusive procurement. While no set-aside exceeds 50%, his consistent use of multiple set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor participation and foster innovation among underrepresented small businesses. His primary NAICS focus includes manufacturing of surgical appliances and miscellaneous industrial equipment (339113, 339999), alongside niche procurement in travel services (561510) and specialized fixtures (337215). These categories correspond to procurement of medical kits for field training, portable evidence collection tools, secure storage units for evidence, and logistical support for international deployments. His technical domain expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical, non-commercial goods and services that enable law enforcement reform in austere environments.
