Agnes M. Ramos

Agnes M. Ramos serves as a key procurement lead at the Naval Medical Research Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to enhance force health protection through advanced biomedical innovation. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions focused on developing and validating field-deployable diagnostic systems, infectious disease detection technologies, and laboratory-grade analytical instrumentation. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring rapid access to cutting-edge medical countermeasures for austere and expeditionary environments. Ramos specializes in complex scientific and technical procurements requiring rigorous validation protocols, often involving multi-phase development cycles and compliance with military medical standards. Her primary contractor relationships center on REES SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION, a trusted partner in the design and fabrication of specialized diagnostic and monitoring equipment. Ramos consistently engages with vendors possessing deep expertise in in-vitro diagnostics, laboratory instrumentation, and medical device manufacturing, fostering long-term collaborations grounded in technical reliability and regulatory compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors who can deliver scalable, ruggedized solutions suitable for deployment in field conditions. Ramos demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively encourages qualified small businesses to compete for opportunities in specialized technical domains, aligning with DoD socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 334519 (other measuring and controlling device manufacturing), 541380 (testing laboratories and services), 423850 (service establishment equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers), and 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing). These categories reflect her expertise in sourcing precision diagnostic tools, laboratory testing services, and medical supply chains essential to infectious disease surveillance and force health protection.
