Genevieve M. Raboteau

Genevieve M. Raboteau supports the NASA Shared Services Center in executing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain NASA’s scientific and operational infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of high-precision analytical instruments, specialized software systems, and engineering services essential to advancing aerospace research and mission-enabling technologies. Her work ensures the timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities by aligning contracting strategies with NASA’s broader goals in space exploration and Earth science. Raboteau routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 15, including competitive negotiated acquisitions for scientific instrumentation and R&D services, often requiring technical evaluation panels and performance-based contract structures. She maintains strong, recurring relationships with key vendors including NEXTROW INC and PENN OAK SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized technical support, calibration services, and systems integration for laboratory and field-deployed instrumentation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in aerospace-grade equipment and compliance with NASA-specific technical standards, fostering long-term partnerships built on reliability and regulatory adherence. Raboteau’s procurement portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 74.8% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the technical specificity and limited vendor base for mission-critical systems. However, she consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 25.2% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that ensures technical integrity while advancing socioeconomic contracting objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals), with significant activity in NAICS 541715 for research and development in physical and engineering sciences. She specializes in acquiring mass spectrometers, spectrophotometers, data acquisition systems, and custom software platforms used in planetary science, materials analysis, and propulsion diagnostics, underscoring her deep technical fluency in aerospace instrumentation and laboratory automation.
