Kathleen J. Martin-Asburay serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Artesia Procurement Office, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining operational readiness for federal law enforcement training programs. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting for facilities support services and specialized security infrastructure, ensuring that training environments meet stringent federal standards for safety, scalability, and mission continuity. She routinely oversees solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on performance-based service contracts that align with DHS operational priorities and federal facility compliance requirements. Martin-Asburay maintains longstanding relationships with core contractors including SDC TIDEWATER JV, LLC, OAK GROVE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, and BRYMAK & ASSOCIATES, INC., who consistently deliver integrated facilities management, security systems maintenance, and logistical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in past performance, technical capability, and compliance with federal security protocols. She prioritizes vendors with proven experience in high-security training environments and demonstrates a preference for contractors who can scale operations across multiple federal sites. A strong advocate for small business participation, Martin-Asburay consistently structures procurements to maximize socioeconomic opportunities, with 60% of her portfolio reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 20% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and resilience through diverse vendor engagement, particularly among small businesses capable of delivering specialized security and facility support solutions. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where she procures comprehensive custodial, maintenance, and operational services for training campuses, alongside NAICS 561622 (Locksmiths) for critical access control and physical security systems. This dual specialization underscores her expertise in securing mission-critical infrastructure while ensuring seamless, day-to-day operational functionality for federal law enforcement trainees and staff.
