Quintina C. Gray serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Science and Technology, where she manages complex procurements aligned with the FBI’s mission to advance forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications.

Her portfolio primarily includes contracts for analytical instrumentation, forensic support services, and specialized technical consulting, requiring deep domain expertise in scientific and law enforcement applications. Gray maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., which provide mission-critical equipment and technical support for field and lab operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach between large-capacity suppliers and small business partners, with a strong emphasis on competitive, open solicitations while ensuring access to specialized capabilities. She engages contractors through performance-based, outcome-driven contract structures that emphasize technical rigor and compliance with federal forensic standards. Her set-aside preferences demonstrate a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with 30% of awards designated for 8(a) certified firms and 20% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
