Larry D. Gillman

Larry D. Gillman serves as a Contracting Officer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical goods and services that support forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. His portfolio emphasizes the procurement of advanced analytical instrumentation, cyber-enabled investigative tools, and evidence management systems aligned with the FBI’s strategic modernization goals. Gillman ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering timely, technically sound contracts that enhance the Bureau’s operational readiness and forensic integrity. His primary contractor relationships include Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., with whom he collaborates on specialized law enforcement equipment and forensic support solutions. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors with proven expertise in tactical gear, forensic supply chains, and mission-critical hardware. Gillman maintains consistent, performance-driven engagements with a limited pool of trusted suppliers, prioritizing reliability and technical alignment over broad vendor diversity. Gillman’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently allocates 25% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His approach balances mission efficiency with statutory obligations to foster small business growth. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 541611 (management consulting services), supporting strategic planning and process optimization for forensic operations, and NAICS 518210 (data processing and cloud infrastructure), critical to digital evidence management. He also routinely procures industrial machinery (423830), photographic equipment (423410), and information services (511210), reflecting a technical domain expertise in forensic lab modernization, digital forensics, and secure data infrastructure.
