Jana J. Thoma

Jana J. Thoma serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), where she manages the acquisition of critical support services and specialized equipment essential to national security and forensic operations. Her portfolio focuses on procuring administrative management consulting, laboratory supply chain logistics, and health-related services that underpin the FBI’s mission to modernize forensic science and secure digital evidence systems. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR Part 15, ensuring compliance with federal procurement standards while aligning acquisitions with the Bureau’s strategic priorities in cyber-enabled investigations and forensic integrity. Thoma maintains primary contracting relationships with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which provide specialized operational and tactical supplies critical to field investigations and forensic support. Her vendor partnerships reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven capabilities in law enforcement-grade equipment and logistics, though she also engages a broader network of niche providers to meet specialized technical requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous source selection, and contract administration aligned with FBI operational timelines. While the majority of her acquisitions—77.8%—are conducted as unrestricted competitions, she consistently reserves 22.2% for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses in support of the FBI’s socioeconomic goals. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, but her small business awards are strategically targeted to ensure broad participation across diverse vendor categories. Her primary NAICS focus includes Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (541611), reflecting her oversight of operational efficiency initiatives, alongside Druggists’ Sundries Merchant Wholesalers (424210) for forensic and laboratory supply procurement. She also manages acquisitions in physician and ambulatory health services (NAICS 621111/621112/621999), supporting the FBI’s medical and psychological evaluation programs for personnel and investigative subjects. Her expertise lies at the intersection of operational logistics, forensic infrastructure, and administrative support within federal law enforcement procurement.
