Pat E Solberg

Pat E. Solberg serves as a Contracting Officer at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure, technology, and support services essential to federal law enforcement training and operational readiness. Her portfolio encompasses facility modernization, secure communications systems, training equipment, and specialized logistics support, ensuring that procurement activities align with the Center’s strategic imperatives to enhance curriculum delivery and maintain secure, resilient training environments. Solberg applies full lifecycle contracting expertise under FAR and DFARS guidelines to deliver timely, compliant, and cost-effective solutions that meet the unique demands of federal law enforcement operations. Solberg maintains enduring relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in facility construction, equipment supply, and technical services, including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in law enforcement-specific environments—such as firearms ranges, maritime training assets, and durable infrastructure—where reliability, safety compliance, and rapid response are paramount. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor accountability. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted (87%), Solberg consistently prioritizes small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (13%), demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting under FAR 19.5. She actively engages qualified small businesses with expertise in technical support, facility maintenance, and equipment distribution, fostering a diverse supplier base without compromising mission requirements. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting substantial investment in training software and digital learning platforms, alongside 423430 (Computer Equipment Wholesalers) for hardware integration and 518210 for cloud-based data and infrastructure services. Additional emphasis on 611699 and 561320 underscores her role in procuring specialized instructional support and temporary staffing to sustain dynamic training operations. Solberg’s expertise lies at the intersection of technical procurement and operational readiness in high-stakes federal law enforcement environments.
