Jesse Weidow

Jesse Weidow serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized scientific and technical equipment and services. In this role, he executes procurement actions in alignment with federal acquisition regulations, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical instruments and maintenance solutions. His portfolio centers on high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory systems, and precision equipment repair services, supporting research, testing, and compliance functions across federal operations. Weidow handles both competitive and non-competitive acquisitions, leveraging FAR Part 13 simplified procedures for lower-value purchases and full and open competition for complex procurements requiring technical evaluation. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Weidow engages with a diverse vendor base including manufacturers of analytical laboratory instruments, certified repair technicians for electronic and precision equipment, and biological product suppliers. His procurement approach emphasizes technical capability, compliance with quality standards, and vendor responsiveness, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of meeting stringent performance and calibration requirements. Weidow’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 95.2% of awards issued without set-asides. Only 4.8% of acquisitions are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate but limited use of socioeconomic programs. This suggests a focus on technical merit and operational necessity over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business obligations when applicable. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), and 325414 (Biological Product Manufacturing). These categories reflect deep expertise in procuring chromatography systems, mass spectrometers, calibration services, and research-grade biological materials, positioning him as a specialist in scientific infrastructure acquisition within federal technical environments.
