Pamela Stokes

Pamela Stokes serves as a Contract Specialist within the Isb Procurement Division of the U.S. Marshals Service, part of the Department of Justice. She plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that directly support federal law enforcement operations, including court security infrastructure, protective services, and operational equipment for fugitive apprehension and witness protection missions. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and mission-critical timelines. She routinely handles complex acquisitions for technical, logistical, and facility-related goods and services essential to the safety and functionality of federal judicial operations. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Ms. Stokes engages with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering specialized security systems, law enforcement equipment, and facility-related infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established commercial suppliers with proven technical capabilities, particularly in security technology and industrial manufacturing. She maintains professional, compliance-driven relationships with both large-capability contractors and small businesses, ensuring competitive, transparent processes aligned with federal procurement integrity standards. Ms. Stokes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are predominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster vendor diversity and enhance competition within the federal supply base. Her procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: security systems services, automobile and motor vehicle wholesale distribution, showcase and locker manufacturing, semiconductor and related device manufacturing, and search/detection system manufacturing. These reflect a technical domain expertise in securing federal facilities, equipping personnel with advanced detection tools, and maintaining vehicle fleets critical to fugitive operations—all underpinned by a rigorous adherence to federal acquisition standards.
