Jacqueline Newman

Jacqueline Newman serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized goods and services to support operational and technical requirements across her organization. She plays a critical role in executing compliant, efficient procurement processes aligned with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical supplies and services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses analytical instrumentation, laboratory testing, machinery maintenance, and management consulting services, reflecting a technical and operational procurement focus. Newman ensures all acquisitions adhere to statutory requirements while promoting transparency, competition, and value for public funds. Her contractor relationships are diverse, encompassing both large-capability vendors and small businesses offering niche technical expertise. She regularly engages with firms specializing in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, commercial and industrial equipment repair, and testing laboratory services. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven technical competence and responsive service delivery, often leveraging competitive sealed bidding and simplified acquisition procedures to ensure broad market participation. Newman’s contracting activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. Nevertheless, she consistently allocates 5.9% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business inclusion without relying on targeted socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach balances market efficiency with statutory small business goals, favoring broad-based small business eligibility over niche set-asides. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (General Automotive Repair), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), 811310 (Commercial Machinery Repair), 541611 (Management Consulting), and 541380 (Testing Laboratories). These reflect a technical procurement profile centered on precision instrumentation, equipment maintenance, and professional services supporting scientific and operational infrastructure, underscoring her expertise in procuring specialized, high-integrity technical solutions.
