Nicolas Shockley

Nicolas Shockley serves as a procurement specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs (Agency Code: 15F067), supporting critical acquisitions aligned with the Bureau’s mission to modernize forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on advanced analytical instrumentation, evidence collection systems, and cyber-enabled investigative tools, ensuring alignment with FBI’s strategic priorities in forensic laboratory modernization and secure communications. His work bridges technical requirements with federal acquisition regulations to deliver mission-critical capabilities while maintaining strict compliance with national security standards. Shockley maintains primary contracting relationships with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which supply specialized operational gear and forensic support systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in law enforcement equipment, tactical hardware, and forensic field solutions. While these two contractors dominate his active portfolio, he also engages a broader network of niche suppliers to meet specialized technical demands, often requiring custom configurations and rapid turnaround for field-deployable systems. A strong advocate for small business participation, Shockley consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of his awards reserved for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified small vendors, particularly those with domain-specific capabilities in law enforcement technology and forensic support services. His procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), 336120 (heavy-duty truck manufacturing for mobile forensics units), 562910 (remediation services for digital evidence cleanup), 441227 (specialized motor vehicle dealers for tactical transport), and 713940 (recreational sports centers for training facility upgrades). These reflect a unique blend of operational, technical, and infrastructure needs supporting FBI’s field and lab operations, demonstrating deep expertise in dual-use and mission-critical procurement domains.
