Tamara Molder

Tamara Molder serves as a procurement specialist within the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of Justice Programs, supporting critical acquisitions that advance forensic science, digital intelligence, and secure communications infrastructure. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for technical equipment and facility-related services essential to FBI laboratory operations and field investigative units, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize evidence analysis systems. Her portfolio primarily includes contracts for specialized facility maintenance, vehicle procurement, and operational support assets critical to forensic chain-of-custody integrity and field deployment readiness. Her primary contractor relationships are with Vista Outdoor Sales LLC and Southern Police Equipment Company, Inc., both of which provide durable, mission-specific equipment and infrastructure solutions tailored to law enforcement and forensic operational environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in delivering ruggedized, standards-compliant products, including evidence transport systems and secure storage solutions. Molder’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based delivery over competitive bidding for non-specialized commodities. Molder’s procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the FBI’s high-performance technical and security requirements. There is no evidence of targeted socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, suggesting her acquisitions prioritize technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic objectives. Her procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages) at 75%, reflecting facility infrastructure upgrades for secure evidence storage and vehicle operations, and NAICS 336212 (Truck Trailer Manufacturing) at 25%, indicating procurement of specialized mobile forensic units and evidence transport trailers. These categories underscore her technical expertise in procuring hardened, compliant infrastructure for forensic logistics and field operational support, aligning directly with the FBI’s emphasis on secure, tamper-resistant evidence handling systems.
