Jennifer Mun

Jennifer Mun supports the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Acquisition and Grant Services in executing mission-critical procurement activities that sustain the agency’s regulatory science infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory support services, and scientific research capabilities essential to ensuring the safety and efficacy of medical products. Her work directly enables FDA’s regulatory oversight by securing the technical resources needed for drug approval, device evaluation, and public health surveillance, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Mun maintains consistent partnerships with specialized vendors including Tranquil Clinical and Research Consulting Services LLC, Toxicologic Pathology Associates Inc, and Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc, reflecting a preference for niche scientific and technical service providers with deep expertise in preclinical research, toxicology, and laboratory operations. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracting patterns that prioritize technical proficiency, regulatory alignment, and quality assurance in support of FDA’s scientific missions. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately 25% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 10% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of 8(a) and small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation and capacity within underserved vendor communities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), where she secures mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, and other high-end diagnostic equipment critical to FDA laboratories. She also procures specialized services under NAICS 923120 (Administration of Public Health Programs) and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), underscoring her technical expertise in sustaining complex scientific infrastructure and ensuring continuous operational readiness of mission-critical systems.
