Sarah Atchley

Sarah Atchley serves as the primary contracting lead for the FBI’s Redstone Arsenal facility, overseeing mission-critical acquisitions that support national security operations through advanced technical systems. She manages a portfolio focused on specialized instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, and high-fidelity training environments essential for forensic analysis and intelligence operations. Her role involves end-to-end procurement execution—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with FBI’s strategic priorities in law enforcement technology and intelligence modernization. She routinely handles complex, high-stakes procurements requiring compliance with federal cybersecurity standards and classified acquisition protocols. Atchley maintains a consistent working relationship with GLOBAL DIMENSIONS, LLC, a key vendor providing technical support and systems integration services, alongside FLATTER, INC, which delivers specialized analytical solutions. Her contractor engagements reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in secure technology deployment and mission-critical logistics. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and adherence to stringent federal compliance frameworks, including ITAR and NIST guidelines. She fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting models that emphasize accountability and technical fidelity. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting, Atchley consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Aside provisions under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her awards designated for small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with broader FBI and DoD goals for equitable access to national security contracts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 512110 (Motion Picture and Video Production), where she acquires advanced video analytics, digital evidence management systems, and training simulation platforms, and NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), supporting multilingual intelligence processing and forensic audio/video analysis. Her technical domain expertise centers on secure multimedia systems, digital forensics tools, and linguistically enabled surveillance technologies critical to FBI’s counterintelligence and criminal investigative missions.
