Knoxville Field Office

The Federal Bureau of Investigation Knoxville Field Office, a sub-office of the Department of Justice's principal federal law enforcement agency, procures contracts in support of regional investigative and operational activities. The field office operates under FBI policy and the parent bureau's acquisition authority, contracting for goods and services required to support domestic investigations and intelligence work across its geographic jurisdiction.

The Knoxville Field Office has awarded 27 federal contracts since 2016, with a combined potential value of $485 thousand and $485 thousand obligated. Recent contract volume is sparse: one award in 2024, one in 2023, one in 2021, two in 2020, and six in 2018 — a pattern reflecting episodic procurement need rather than continuous contracting activity. All $485 thousand in potential value has been obligated against active awards.

The competitive base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the two most active primes — Quantico Tactical Incorporated and Federal Contracts LLC — account for two awards combined and only 18 percent of recent potential value. No single contractor dominates the Knoxville Field Office's portfolio. Among the 22 distinct primes awarded historically, most have received a single contract, and the field office shows no pattern of repeat vendor relationships at scale.

Set-aside activity splits between unrestricted and small-business awards. Fifty-two percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 41 percent are total small-business set-asides. One award is designated for women-owned small-business (WOSB). The contract base is small-dollar and episodic, typical of a field office supporting localized operational needs rather than sustained enterprise procurements.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Knoxville Field Office. The sparse and irregular award cadence, combined with the absence of current solicitations in the portfolio, suggests that pursuit of this field office requires monitoring for occasional, low-dollar, small-scope opportunities rather than positioning for predictable or continuous contracting relationships. Firms competing at this office should expect multi-month or multi-year gaps between awards and should tailor proposals and past-performance narratives to small-scale, specialized operational support work typical of regional FBI operations.
