Asya McClelland

Asya McClelland serves as the primary contracting lead within the Program Support Center Acquisition Management Service, supporting the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services. In this role, she manages the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for specialized technical services critical to sustaining public health infrastructure, with a focus on maintaining the operational integrity of biomedical research environments. Her acquisitions center on electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance, ensuring the reliability of laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and mission-critical computing hardware used across HHS-funded facilities. She operates with full authority to execute complex service contracts under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, aligning procurement decisions with strategic modernization goals for federal health research operations. McClelland maintains a consistent working relationship with Science Applications International Corporation and SARA Software Systems LLC as her primary contractors, both of which provide high-specialization technical support for complex instrumentation and data management systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in federal biomedical environments, characterized by long-term performance-based contracts and low turnover. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, compliance, and mission continuity over competitive bidding cycles, resulting in a stable vendor ecosystem focused on mission-critical service delivery. McClelland’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic prioritization of technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her awards remain open to all qualified vendors, with selection criteria grounded in technical merit, past performance, and system-specific expertise rather than socioeconomic designation. Her primary NAICS classification, 811210, underscores deep specialization in the repair, calibration, and preventive maintenance of electronic and precision equipment essential to laboratory and clinical research. She procures services including mass spectrometer servicing, chromatography system refurbishment, biosafety cabinet certification, and embedded systems support—ensuring uninterrupted functionality of high-value, mission-sensitive instrumentation across HHS operational sites.
