Sasha M. Desdunes

Sasha M. Desdunes serves as a Contract Specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Procurement, supporting critical acquisitions that advance forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific directives. Her portfolio centers on technical services and specialized equipment essential to modernizing FBI laboratory capabilities and cyber-enabled investigative tools, with a focus on mission-critical systems that uphold evidence integrity and operational security. Desdunes maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC and SOUTHERN POLICE EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC., primarily for specialized forensic and field support equipment. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in law enforcement-grade hardware and logistics support, while maintaining rigorous oversight of performance and compliance standards. She engages with a limited but high-reliability vendor base, prioritizing technical proficiency and regulatory alignment over volume-driven sourcing. Her set-aside strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals: while 62.5% of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, she actively promotes small business participation through 8(a) competed contracts (25%) and Total Small Business Set-Asides (12.5%). This demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition and inclusion without compromising mission readiness or technical rigor. Her primary NAICS focus includes Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (541614), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and specialized support categories such as Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), reflecting a diverse operational footprint that includes both high-tech IT modernization and facility infrastructure needs. Her expertise lies in aligning complex technical requirements with compliant, mission-aligned contracting solutions across multidisciplinary domains.
