Jessica Palmieri

Jessica Palmieri serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that directly support the readiness and operational infrastructure of federal law enforcement personnel. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of complex procurement actions, with a primary focus on construction, facilities support, and security systems contracting. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to modernize training environments and enhance physical and technological infrastructure for law enforcement training and operations. Palmieri maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial building construction, facility maintenance, and specialized equipment supply. Key partners include Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Builders Supply Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting her focus on durable, mission-critical infrastructure and support assets. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in delivering high-quality, code-compliant solutions tailored to federal law enforcement standards, fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Her contracting approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly one-third of her awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between 8(a) competed and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition, she actively leverages set-aside authorities to promote equitable access and foster growth among qualified small businesses in the federal contracting space. Palmieri’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), supporting facility upgrades and new construction for training campuses. She also regularly procures facilities support services (NAICS 561210) and security systems services (NAICS 561621), demonstrating technical expertise in integrating physical infrastructure with operational security requirements, including specialized metal fenestration and integrated detection systems critical to secure training environments.
