Harriett Williams

Harriett Williams serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), under the Department of Justice, where she leads the acquisition of critical technical services to support national security and criminal investigations. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurements, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance oversight, with a primary focus on computer systems design services. Her work directly enables the FBI’s modernization of forensic laboratories, digital intelligence platforms, and secure communications infrastructure, ensuring that investigative tools meet the highest standards of reliability, scalability, and cybersecurity compliance. Her primary contractor relationships are centered on VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., both of which provide specialized technical support for forensic and operational systems. While these firms dominate her active contract portfolio, she maintains a streamlined vendor engagement model focused on proven technical capabilities rather than broad vendor diversification, reflecting a preference for established partners with demonstrated expertise in secure system integration and forensic instrumentation support. Ms. Williams maintains a 100% no set-aside procurement posture, indicating a consistent emphasis on full and open competition. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and performance history over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the FBI’s mission-critical need for rapid, high-assurance solutions without restriction. Her procurement activity is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting deep specialization in custom software development, data analytics platforms, cybersecurity architecture, and integrated forensic information systems. She routinely procures services that support the design, deployment, and maintenance of secure, scalable digital infrastructure critical to evidence analysis, digital forensics, and real-time investigative intelligence.
