Sherrie Walters serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where she plays a pivotal role in acquiring mission-critical infrastructure, technology, and support services essential to federal law enforcement training and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and alignment with the Center’s strategic priorities in modernizing training facilities and enhancing secure communications systems. Her portfolio primarily encompasses facility construction, specialized equipment, and IT-enabled training solutions. Walters maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., reflecting a focus on durable, mission-specific goods and services. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and deep technical alignment with law enforcement training environments, indicating a preference for vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized infrastructure, range maintenance, and maritime operational support systems.

Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without compromising mission performance or technical rigor. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 333316 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing), which dominates her portfolio, alongside 423430 for computer equipment wholesaling and 541511/541512 for custom programming and systems design services.
