Alexander Bain

Alexander Bain serves as a key procurement professional within the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard public health through strategic acquisition of critical scientific and operational capabilities. He manages the full lifecycle of contract actions for high-priority public health initiatives, with a focus on administrative management and general management consulting services that enable efficient program execution across CDC’s national surveillance, laboratory, and response systems. His work ensures that technical and operational support services align with federal acquisition regulations and CDC’s strategic imperatives in infectious disease control and data-driven public health infrastructure. Bain maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading federal contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, GlaxoSmithKline, MRIGLOBAL, Cepheid, and the New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering complex, scalable solutions in diagnostics, laboratory support, epidemiological analytics, and health systems management. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service delivery, and vendor reliability in high-stakes public health environments. Bain’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a strategic focus on open competition to secure the highest-capability providers for mission-critical services. While no socioeconomic set-asides—such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB—are currently utilized in his award patterns, this reflects the nature of the specialized consulting and technical services required rather than a lack of small business engagement elsewhere in the agency. His primary NAICS focus is 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, underscoring his specialization in procuring strategic advisory, operational efficiency, program evaluation, and systems integration services that underpin CDC’s public health infrastructure. He routinely acquires services related to process optimization, workflow modernization, and data governance frameworks essential to sustaining national disease surveillance and laboratory response capacity.
