Janice Battle

Janice Battle serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized goods and services to support critical operational needs. She plays a key role in executing compliant, transparent procurement processes aligned with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical supplies and services. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-precision manufacturing, laboratory testing, and customized software solutions, with a focus on technical procurement requiring regulatory adherence and quality assurance protocols. She works closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements, evaluate vendor proposals, and award contracts under full and open competition or targeted set-asides. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Janice consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including manufacturers of biological and diagnostic products, industrial maintenance providers, and IT service firms specializing in custom programming. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and regulatory compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards in regulated environments. Janice demonstrates a strong preference for full and open competition, with 90% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating approximately 10% of her acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business inclusion without compromising operational needs or competition integrity. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 325414 (Biological Product Manufacturing) and 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing), indicating deep engagement with life sciences supply chains. She also regularly procures commercial and industrial machinery maintenance services (811310), custom computer programming (541511), and testing laboratory services (541380), showcasing expertise in both regulated manufacturing and technical service domains. Her work supports complex, science-driven missions requiring precision, compliance, and technical specificity.
