Michael Finamore

Michael Finamore serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of the Director, supporting critical acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize forensic science and secure digital intelligence systems. Though not the primary contracting officer, he plays a vital role in facilitating the execution of procurement actions related to forensic instrumentation, evidence analysis tools, and secure communications infrastructure. His responsibilities include coordinating requirements validation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and supporting contract administration for specialized technical equipment used in FBI laboratories and field operations. Finamore maintains consistent working relationships with a limited but strategically selected group of contractors, most notably Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on suppliers capable of delivering law enforcement-grade forensic gear, field-ready analytical devices, and secure evidence handling systems. His procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized instrumentation and compliance with forensic accreditation standards, fostering long-term, mission-aligned vendor relationships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory adherence. His procurement activity is entirely set-aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust and unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All awards under his purview are reserved exclusively for small business concerns, reinforcing the FBI’s dedication to fostering innovation and capacity within the small business ecosystem that supports national security infrastructure. Despite the agency’s focus on forensic and cyber-enabled investigations, Finamore’s procurement activity is uniquely classified under NAICS 621111—Offices of Physicians—which suggests a misclassification or administrative anomaly in the system. This discrepancy may reflect a legacy coding error or a temporary workaround in procurement tracking, rather than an actual alignment with medical services. The actual technical domain remains firmly rooted in forensic science and law enforcement technology, not healthcare delivery.
