Courtney A Whiting

Courtney A. Whiting serves as a Contract Specialist within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division (68HERC) of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support environmental science and regulatory compliance. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting services, and operational support solutions that enable evidence-based environmental decision-making. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement requiring deep domain expertise in laboratory systems, environmental monitoring, and facility infrastructure, ensuring alignment with federal standards and agency priorities for scientific integrity and environmental protection. Whiting maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC, and GREENLIFETECH CORP, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven technical capabilities in environmental analytics, site remediation, and laboratory support services. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven contracting relationships that prioritize technical compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery of mission-enabling resources, often engaging contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong emphasis on enabling small business participation. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, she actively leverages small business authorities to promote innovation and diversity in the vendor base, consistently aligning with EPA’s broader goals for equitable contracting.
