Janice M Moten

Janice M. Moten serves as a key procurement professional within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), supporting the agency’s mission to advance measurement science, standards, and technological innovation critical to national competitiveness and security. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory services, and specialized technical support, ensuring NIST’s research infrastructure remains at the forefront of scientific capability. Her work directly enables critical R&D in semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and quantum technologies, aligning procurement decisions with NIST’s strategic priorities in scientific excellence and industrial innovation. Moten maintains established relationships with leading vendors including Quality Biological, Inc., ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND LABORATORIES (ATL) INTERNATIONAL, INC., and PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC., who provide specialized laboratory equipment, calibration services, and analytical system maintenance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable contractors with proven expertise in scientific instrumentation and compliance with federal laboratory standards. These partnerships are typically non-competitive or competitively bid under general services and professional technical services authorities, emphasizing performance, reliability, and technical specificity over cost alone. Her procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 97.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a primary focus on technical capability and mission-critical delivery rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is limited at 2.8%, it is strategically directed toward firms demonstrating specialized scientific or engineering expertise aligned with NIST’s complex requirements. Moten’s primary NAICS focus areas include Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (334516), Professional Scientific and Technical Services (541990), and Laboratory Services (811219), reflecting deep engagement with high-end instrumentation procurement, metrology support, and precision calibration services. Her expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical tools for nanoscale characterization, semiconductor process control, and advanced materials analysis, ensuring NIST’s laboratories maintain global leadership in measurement science.
