Cindy E. Schweibold

Cindy E. Schweibold serves as a Contracting Officer within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in securing technical and scientific capabilities essential to environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting services, and applied research support, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and the agency’s mission to advance evidence-based environmental decision-making. Her portfolio is heavily focused on research and development contracts that enable data-driven environmental risk assessment and laboratory operations. Schweibold maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC, and GREENLIFETECH CORP, all of which provide niche expertise in environmental data systems, field sampling, and laboratory analysis. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency and past performance, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors demonstrating proven capability in environmental science and engineering services. She prioritizes quality and compliance over volume, cultivating relationships with firms that deliver precision-engineered solutions for complex environmental challenges. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than targeting specific small business categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements remain fully compliant with FAR requirements and competitive fairness standards. Schweibold’s primary NAICS focus is 541712—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology)—reflecting her specialization in procuring advanced scientific services, environmental modeling, and analytical instrumentation development. She routinely acquires services involving chromatography systems, air and water quality sensors, environmental data analytics platforms, and field-deployable monitoring technologies, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical demands of environmental science and regulatory testing protocols.
