Eugenia J. Corder

Eugenia J. Corder supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Acquisition Services in managing critical procurement activities that enable public health surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, and biomedical research. She oversees the acquisition of scientific, technical, and operational services essential to CDC’s mission of detecting and responding to infectious disease threats. Her work primarily involves complex, mission-critical contracts for laboratory equipment, epidemiological data systems, and clinical support services, ensuring timely access to tools that safeguard national and global health security. Corder operates within a high-stakes regulatory environment, aligning acquisitions with federal procurement standards and public health imperatives. She maintains sustained relationships with key contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, GlaxoSmithKline, MRIGLOBAL, and Cepheid, partnering with organizations capable of delivering advanced diagnostic technologies, biomedical research support, and large-scale public health infrastructure. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in life sciences and public health operations, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and multiple-award contract vehicles to ensure agility in emergency response scenarios. Corder’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with approximately 90% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and scale of CDC’s requirements. However, she consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation while prioritizing mission readiness and technical capability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs) and 541990 (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing epidemiological analysis, laboratory capacity building, and public health data systems. She also procures medical equipment and supplies through NAICS 423450, ensuring CDC’s field operations are supported by reliable diagnostic and clinical tools. Her expertise spans the intersection of public health policy, scientific procurement, and operational logistics in high-impact health environments.
