Mark Broughton

Mark Broughton serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the training, infrastructure, and operational readiness of federal law enforcement personnel. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on facilities modernization, technical equipment, and specialized support services essential to law enforcement training environments. His portfolio includes complex procurements requiring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, security protocols, and performance-based contracting standards. Broughton maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in infrastructure fabrication, maintenance services, equipment supply, and marine operational systems. His contracting patterns emphasize reliability, technical specificity, and adherence to performance metrics, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate capacity to meet the unique demands of federal law enforcement training facilities. While the majority of his acquisitions (83.3%) are conducted without set-asides, Broughton consistently allocates 16.7% of his contract portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. He prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion where feasible, aligning with agency goals to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His procurement focus centers on five primary NAICS categories: 561510 (Travel Agencies), 922190 (Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). This reflects expertise in acquiring specialized training support services, law enforcement technology, laboratory instrumentation, and operational management solutions critical to modernizing federal training infrastructure.
