Jeannette Albiez

Jeannette Albiez serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in scientific and technical services, with a primary focus on research and development activities in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. Her role involves planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts that support federal mission-critical innovation efforts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. She typically handles performance-based, firm-fixed-price, and cost-reimbursement contracts for high-technical-service requirements, working closely with program offices to align procurement strategy with scientific goals. Her contractor relationships are broad but centered on firms capable of delivering specialized R&D services, including analytical laboratories, engineering consultants, and facilities support providers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in laboratory operations, technical testing, and institutional building services. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding and technical merit, fostering partnerships with both large-capability contractors and qualified small businesses that meet stringent performance standards. Ms. Albiez’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical excellence and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and inclusive, allowing all eligible entities to compete on equal footing based on capability and value. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715, encompassing physical, engineering, and life sciences research—particularly in areas such as materials testing, environmental analysis, and applied engineering studies. She also procures related services under NAICS 561210 for facility operations and 236220 for commercial construction projects supporting research infrastructure. Her expertise lies in managing technically complex, multi-year contracts requiring rigorous performance metrics and scientific oversight.
