Marlene Hastman

Marlene Hastman serves as a key procurement lead within Division 0100 of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, supporting the Department of Justice’s mission to secure and sustain the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical information technology services essential to law enforcement data integrity, cybersecurity, and secure system operations. Her portfolio centers on custom software development, secure cloud environments, and enterprise-level IT support services that ensure the continuous availability and compliance of CJIS systems under stringent federal security standards. Hastman’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the FBI’s operational imperatives, emphasizing resilience, auditability, and interoperability across federal, state, and local justice networks. Her contractor relationships are primarily with specialized IT service providers capable of delivering high-assurance software solutions, cybersecurity hardening, and infrastructure modernization within FedRAMP and CJIS Security Policy frameworks. While no single vendor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in secure application development, identity management, and data encryption technologies. Her procurement approach favors vendors with demonstrated experience in federal law enforcement environments and a track record of compliance with NIST SP 800-53 controls and FISMA requirements. Hastman’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though she remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes performance, security posture, and system interoperability above socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the high-stakes nature of CJIS operations. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 — Other Computer Related Services — encompassing custom software engineering, systems integration, cybersecurity consulting, and managed IT services for secure government environments. She consistently procures solutions that support real-time data sharing, biometric identification systems, and encrypted communications platforms critical to national criminal justice operations.
