Queen H. Singleton

Queen H. Singleton serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Charleston Procurement Office, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining high-fidelity law enforcement training environments. Her responsibilities include sourcing specialized equipment, infrastructure support, and operational services that enable realistic tactical training scenarios, particularly in firearms proficiency, vessel operations, and facility readiness. She handles complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to ensure acquisitions align with mission-critical training standards. Her work directly supports the readiness of federal law enforcement personnel across multiple agencies. Singleton maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including small arms manufacturers, ordnance suppliers, and facilities support contractors. She engages regularly with both established defense contractors and niche small businesses capable of delivering custom or modified equipment for law enforcement training. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based specifications and rigorous technical compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliability, rapid turnaround, and adherence to federal safety and security protocols. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Singleton consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 56% of her portfolio designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes 8(a) competed awards and demonstrates a clear preference for contracting with disadvantaged small businesses, aligning with the agency’s broader commitment to equitable opportunity. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to cultivate a resilient, diverse supplier base capable of meeting the unique demands of federal training operations. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332994 (small arms and ordnance accessories) and 332992 (small arms ammunition), reflecting deep expertise in defense-related manufacturing and safety-compliant munitions supply. She also regularly procures facilities support services and shipbuilding-related components, underscoring her technical fluency in both tactical equipment and infrastructure systems essential to maritime and land-based training environments.
