Ms. Sharon Gray

Ms. Sharon Gray serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Science and Technology, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical computer systems design services to support forensic science and digital intelligence operations. Her role is central to modernizing the FBI’s analytical infrastructure, ensuring secure, scalable, and compliant IT solutions for evidence analysis, cyber investigations, and secure communications systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements definition and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—focusing exclusively on technical services that enhance the agency’s capacity to process digital evidence and deploy advanced forensic tools. Ms. Gray maintains a primary working relationship with VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., both of which provide specialized technical support for forensic and investigative systems. While these contractors dominate her portfolio, she engages a broader network of qualified vendors to ensure competitive, high-quality service delivery. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor accountability, fostering stable partnerships with firms capable of meeting the FBI’s stringent security and operational standards. Ms. Gray’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the agency’s requirement for specialized technical expertise that currently resides primarily within non-small business vendors possessing the necessary clearances, infrastructure, and proven capabilities in high-assurance computing environments. Her procurement activities are concentrated entirely under NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where she acquires custom software development, system integration, data analytics platforms, and secure forensic computing architectures. Her domain expertise lies in supporting digital forensics, metadata analysis, and secure data handling systems that meet FBI and DOJ cybersecurity compliance frameworks, ensuring that all acquired solutions align with national security and evidentiary integrity standards.
