John Floyd

John Floyd serves as Marine Simulator Coordinator at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where he oversees the acquisition and integration of advanced marine simulation systems critical to federal law enforcement training readiness. In this role, he ensures that training environments mirror real-world maritime operational conditions, procuring high-fidelity simulators, control systems, and supporting infrastructure to enhance the proficiency of agents in coastal patrol, vessel interdiction, and search-and-rescue scenarios. His acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission to modernize training capabilities through technologically sophisticated, mission-critical equipment that aligns with DHS operational standards. John maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats, Inc., who provide custom-built marine training platforms, simulation hardware, and vessel integration services. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability, compliance with maritime safety regulations, and the ability to deliver turnkey training solutions. He prioritizes contractors with proven expertise in marine engineering, immersive simulation software, and ruggedized system design for federal operational use. John’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic classifications. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his selections are driven by the specialized nature of marine simulation systems, which often require niche engineering capabilities not widely available among small business vendors. His procurement domain centers on marine and maritime training systems, with a strong emphasis on simulation technology, aquatic training infrastructure, and integrated control environments. He routinely procures high-end marine simulators, virtual reality training modules, boat handling systems, and environmental replication equipment—specializing in technical domains that demand precision engineering and federal compliance with Coast Guard and DHS operational protocols.
