Kim Fish

Kim Fish serves as a Contractor supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Justice Enforcement Headquarters (FBI-JEH), where she plays a critical role in facilitating the acquisition of specialized technical and operational resources aligned with the Bureau’s mission to advance forensic science and digital intelligence capabilities. Though not a government employee, her position enables seamless coordination between FBI technical teams and external vendors, ensuring timely procurement of mission-critical systems that support evidence analysis, secure communications, and cyber-enabled investigations. She primarily manages non-personal services contracts for analytical instrumentation, forensic software tools, and secure data handling platforms, operating within strict compliance frameworks governed by federal acquisition regulations. Kim Fish maintains a focused contractor relationship with VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., both of which provide specialized equipment and technical support services tailored to law enforcement and forensic operations. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering ruggedized, compliant, and field-tested solutions. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and long-term service agreements, indicating a reliance on vendors with deep domain expertise in forensic and investigative hardware and software integration. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the FBI’s high-stakes, mission-critical environment where performance and compliance outweigh traditional small business targeting criteria. Her primary NAICS classification is 523999 (Miscellaneous Financial Investment Activities), which, while seemingly incongruous, is used administratively to classify certain non-standard procurement actions involving complex service-based contracts related to forensic data management and secure financial transaction systems supporting evidence chain-of-custody protocols. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of forensic science, digital evidence handling, and secure infrastructure procurement within a highly regulated federal environment.
