Kathrina L Sliger

Kathrina L. Sliger serves as a Contracting Officer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she manages the acquisition of critical technical and operational support services aligned with the Bureau’s mission to advance forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and FBI-specific security requirements. Her portfolio primarily includes IT modernization, forensic instrumentation, cybersecurity tools, and analytical systems that enhance evidence collection and digital investigation capabilities. Sliger maintains strategic relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., which provide specialized equipment and technical services supporting field operations and forensic labs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven capabilities in law enforcement-grade hardware and secure software solutions, often requiring FedRAMP authorization, ITAR compliance, or CMMC alignment. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, technical expertise, and adherence to federal security protocols. While the majority of her acquisitions—84.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Sliger consistently allocates 15.4% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation within high-technology domains. Her socioeconomic contracting approach prioritizes qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 517919 (Other Telecommunications), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting deep specialization in digital forensics platforms, data analytics tools, secure communications systems, and custom software development for law enforcement applications. Sliger’s expertise lies in procuring advanced, mission-critical technologies that support FBI’s evolving cyber and forensic operational needs.
