Latinia Buck

Latinia Buck serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain the readiness and operational infrastructure of federal law enforcement personnel. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for facilities modernization, technical training systems, and specialized equipment essential to law enforcement curriculum delivery. She specializes in procuring high-integrity, security-compliant solutions that support dynamic training environments, including communications networks, detection technologies, and vehicle-related infrastructure, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency strategic priorities. Buck maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting a focus on niche vendors capable of delivering specialized physical infrastructure, maintenance services, and mission-specific equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and technical specificity, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven capacity in law enforcement-specific domains such as tactical vehicle modifications, range maintenance, and marine operational support systems. Her contracting portfolio reflects an even split between total small business set-asides and open competitions, demonstrating a balanced yet intentional commitment to socioeconomic programs under FAR 19.5. While not exclusively focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she actively incorporates small business participation where capabilities align, reinforcing the agency’s mandate to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Buck’s primary NAICS focus centers on 423120 (Motor Vehicle Supplies and New Parts Merchant Wholesalers) and 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), indicating deep expertise in procuring specialized automotive components for law enforcement vehicles and secure, resilient satellite-based communication systems. Her technical domain knowledge spans vehicle upfitting, tactical communications hardware, and infrastructure supporting remote training operations, making her a key liaison between operational needs and acquisition execution in high-stakes federal law enforcement environments.
