Apisit Viriya

Apisit Viriya serves as a procurement specialist within the National Cancer Institute (NCI), supporting the agency’s mission to accelerate cancer research through strategic acquisition of advanced scientific and technical services. Focused on enabling high-capability research infrastructure, Viriya manages a portfolio of contracts centered on laboratory testing, genomic analysis, and translational research support. Their work ensures that NCI’s scientific priorities—particularly in precision medicine and molecular diagnostics—are enabled through timely, compliant, and technically robust contracting actions aligned with federal acquisition regulations. Viriya maintains a primary contracting relationship with Roche Diagnostics Corporation, a leading provider of in vitro diagnostic systems and genomic profiling solutions. This partnership reflects a consistent reliance on industry leaders with demonstrated expertise in clinical laboratory services and molecular diagnostics. While major contractors dominate the award landscape, Viriya’s approach balances reliance on established vendors with deliberate inclusion of small business capabilities, ensuring continuity of mission-critical services while fostering innovation. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, 16.7% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising scientific rigor or operational scale. This pattern reflects a strategic balance between mission urgency and socioeconomic goals. The procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring clinical, molecular, and genomic testing capabilities essential for cancer research. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services) underscores support for operational and scientific program management. Viriya’s domain expertise lies in procuring complex, high-compliance laboratory services that underpin NCI’s translational research ecosystem.
