Dilynn Rogers

Dilynn Rogers supports the Agricultural Research Service’s Office of Acquisition and Procurement in securing critical scientific infrastructure and specialized research capabilities essential to advancing U.S. agricultural innovation. Though her formal title is not listed, her procurement activities center on acquiring high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory services, and facility maintenance solutions that underpin ARS’s mission in crop science, pest management, and biotechnological research. She manages complex acquisitions across the full lifecycle—from needs analysis and market research to contract award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and scientific operational requirements. Rogers maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including Lab Leasing Co. and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., who provide specialized laboratory equipment leasing, environmental compliance services, and precision instrument maintenance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors possessing deep technical expertise in analytical systems and research facility support, enabling sustained operational readiness for federal laboratories. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 63% of contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. While service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses account for a minimal share, the overwhelming emphasis on general small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and economic inclusion among niche technical suppliers. This pattern aligns with ARS’s broader goal of leveraging agile, specialized vendors to meet evolving research demands. Rogers’ primary NAICS focus areas include analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516), electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance (811210), and biotechnology research and development (541714). She routinely procures mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, environmental monitoring equipment, and specialized laboratory renovation services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical specifications and compliance standards required for federally funded agricultural science operations.
