Brad Heath

Brad M. Heath serves as a Contract Specialist within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that support environmental science and regulatory compliance. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for technical services and specialized equipment, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and agency mission objectives. His portfolio centers on securing high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting, and operational support services critical to monitoring, risk assessment, and data-driven environmental decision-making. Heath’s work directly enables the agency’s capacity to conduct scientific research and enforce environmental standards through reliable, compliant contracting practices. Heath maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC, and GREENLIFETECH CORP, among others. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms delivering specialized environmental analysis, laboratory support, and facility maintenance services. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical specificity, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in compliance, quality assurance, and mission alignment. He regularly engages contractors with demonstrated expertise in environmental sampling, data interpretation, and regulatory reporting. While the majority of his acquisitions (80%) are conducted without set-asides, Heath actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals. He consistently structures solicitations to enable eligibility for small businesses without imposing restrictive limitations, balancing competitive fairness with broader agency diversity objectives. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with significant activity in commercial building construction (236220) and roofing (238160). This reflects a multidisciplinary approach to acquiring both technical environmental services and facility infrastructure support necessary for operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
