Jenny Matte

Jenny Matte serves as the EBSC Team Leader for the Supplies Division, where she leads the planning, solicitation, and award of complex procurement actions for specialized scientific and technical equipment. In this capacity, she ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives, overseeing the acquisition of high-value analytical instruments and laboratory supplies critical to research and regulatory operations. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical procurement activities requiring technical rigor, compliance with federal sourcing policies, and strategic vendor engagement to support scientific integrity and operational continuity. While specific contractor names are not available, Matte’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established manufacturers and service providers with proven capabilities in analytical instrumentation and regulated chemical supply chains. She engages with vendors possessing robust quality assurance systems, ISO certifications, and technical support infrastructure, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure product reliability and compliance with federal standards. Her team prioritizes responsive, technically capable suppliers capable of meeting stringent performance and delivery requirements. Matte demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 41.7% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for small businesses with specialized expertise in laboratory equipment, agricultural chemical production, and niche technical services. Her approach supports socioeconomic goals without compromising technical requirements, consistently leveraging set-aside authorities to promote competition and innovation among qualified small vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring chromatography systems, spectrometers, and other precision lab equipment. She also routinely acquires pesticide and agricultural chemical products (NAICS 325320), custom computer programming services for lab data systems (NAICS 541511), and specialized maintenance services (NAICS 811219). This technical domain expertise ensures she effectively evaluates complex bids and negotiates terms that safeguard performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
