Dr. Imad Eujayl

Dr. Imad Eujayl serves as a Research Plant Molecular Biologist within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, Procurement and Workforce Administration office (Agency Code: 12905B). In this role, he provides scientific oversight for the acquisition of specialized equipment, reagents, and technical services critical to advancing plant genomics, gene editing, and molecular phenotyping research. His procurement activities directly support the agency’s mission to modernize agricultural research infrastructure by ensuring laboratories are equipped with precision instrumentation for high-throughput DNA sequencing, CRISPR-based trait analysis, and controlled-environment plant growth systems. He collaborates closely with laboratory managers and technical staff to translate complex scientific requirements into compliant, performance-based solicitation documents that prioritize technical capability and reproducibility. Dr. Eujayl works with a diverse range of vendors specializing in life sciences and agricultural biotechnology, including manufacturers of next-generation sequencing platforms, molecular assay kits, and automated plant phenotyping systems. His partnerships typically involve established scientific suppliers with demonstrated expertise in agricultural research applications, as well as niche providers of custom bioinformatics tools and lab automation solutions. He maintains a vendor engagement model grounded in technical evaluation, compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and long-term service reliability rather than price alone. Dr. Eujayl’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting the specialized nature of the scientific equipment and services required for molecular plant research. His acquisitions do not leverage 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, as the technical demands often necessitate vendors with advanced certifications in biosafety, GMP compliance, or proprietary instrumentation support that are not yet widely held by small businesses in this domain. His primary NAICS classification is 511210—Software Publishers—indicating a strong focus on bioinformatics software, data analysis platforms, and computational tools for genomic interpretation. He procures high-performance computing licenses, cloud-based genomic analysis suites, and integrated laboratory information management systems that enable data-driven plant science. His expertise lies at the intersection of molecular biology and digital research infrastructure, ensuring that procurement decisions align with evolving scientific workflows in plant genomics.
