Abbie Jemmott

Abbie Jemmott serves as a Contract Specialist within the Headquarters Acquisition Division (HQAD) of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that advance the agency’s mission to protect human health and the environment. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for scientific and technical services, with a focus on environmental consulting, laboratory testing, and analytical instrumentation. Her work directly supports data-driven regulatory decisions, pollution control initiatives, and ecological remediation efforts by ensuring timely and compliant access to mission-critical expertise and equipment. Jemmott maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including ABT GLOBAL LLC, GERLING & ASSOCIATES, INC., and LILIUM-SERES JV, all of which provide specialized environmental science and technical support services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who deliver high-quality, scientifically rigorous solutions. She engages primarily with firms possessing deep domain expertise in environmental monitoring, field-deployable analytics, and compliance-driven data collection. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under open competition (75% no set-aside), Jemmott actively promotes small business participation, allocating 25% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting by prioritizing small businesses capable of delivering niche environmental services, though she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her primary NAICS focus includes Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling (541910), and Other Social Advocacy Organizations (813319), reflecting her procurement of environmental impact assessments, stakeholder engagement studies, and technical advisory services. She also routinely acquires specialized maintenance and repair services under NAICS 811219, underscoring her support for operational readiness of environmental monitoring systems and analytical instrumentation.
