Jennifer Lohmeier

Jennifer Lohmeier serves as a primary procurement lead for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she manages complex acquisitions supporting the agency’s mission to advance measurement science, standards, and technological innovation. Her portfolio centers on high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and technical consulting services critical to semiconductor development, advanced manufacturing, and physical sciences research. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—ensuring alignment with NIST’s strategic priorities in national security and industrial competitiveness. Her acquisitions are technical in nature, requiring deep domain expertise in scientific instrumentation and R&D support. Lohmeier maintains consistent relationships with specialized vendors including Quality Biological, Inc., ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND LABORATORIES (ATL) INTERNATIONAL, INC., and PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC., all of which provide high-end analytical instruments, calibration services, and laboratory systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing and scientific equipment supply, often requiring compliance with federal specifications and traceable calibration standards. She collaborates closely with NIST scientists to ensure acquired technologies meet rigorous metrological requirements. Her contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 87.8% of awards issued under open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the technical requirements. However, she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (12.2%), aligning with FAR 19.5 to foster innovation from qualified small vendors in niche scientific markets. Lohmeier’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with additional activity in scientific consulting (541690) and physical sciences R&D (541712). She procures mass spectrometers, spectroscopy systems, process control instruments, and calibration standards—tools essential to NIST’s core work in standards development, materials characterization, and semiconductor metrology. Her expertise lies at the intersection of federal acquisition and advanced scientific instrumentation.
