Michael Parsons

Michael Parsons serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical equipment and services supporting forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications. His portfolio centers on procuring advanced analytical instrumentation, forensic laboratory systems, and integrated security solutions that enhance evidence integrity and cyber-enabled investigative capabilities. Parsons ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the FBI’s strategic modernization goals, particularly in forensic technology and secure communications infrastructure. He maintains primary contracting relationships with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which supply specialized law enforcement and forensic equipment. His vendor engagements emphasize proven suppliers with technical expertise in transportation-related equipment and physical security systems, reflecting a preference for established contractors capable of delivering ruggedized, mission-ready solutions under strict federal compliance standards. Parsons works closely with these partners to ensure timely delivery, technical accuracy, and adherence to FBI-specific operational requirements. Parsons demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of his contracts are unrestricted, he consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with relevant technical capabilities, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs that align with the FBI’s diversity and innovation goals. His primary NAICS focus areas—336999 (All Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) and 561621 (Security Systems Services)—reflect his specialization in procuring ruggedized vehicle-mounted forensic systems, secure evidence transport equipment, and integrated physical security solutions. He regularly acquires custom-engineered hardware and services supporting forensic chain-of-custody protocols, digital evidence handling, and secure field operations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in law enforcement technology procurement.
