JoAnn Moore

JoAnn Moore serves as a Senior Acquisition Specialist contractor supporting the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where she manages complex procurement actions aligned with NIST’s mission to advance measurement science, standards, and advanced manufacturing technologies. Her portfolio focuses on high-precision analytical instrumentation, laboratory equipment, and specialized manufacturing components critical to semiconductor development, materials characterization, and industrial competitiveness. She leads end-to-end acquisition cycles—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting NIST’s technical infrastructure needs. Moore maintains consistent partnerships with key vendors including Quality Biological, Inc., ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND LABORATORIES (ATL) INTERNATIONAL, INC., and PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC., all of which provide specialized analytical instruments, calibration standards, and vacuum-based metrology systems. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, technically demanding engagements with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in laboratory instrumentation and precision engineering, often requiring tailored technical evaluations and performance-based specifications. Moore’s acquisition portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects NIST’s requirement for highly specialized capabilities that are not currently available through small business or socioeconomic programs, and underscores her focus on technical merit and performance outcomes over socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), where she acquires mass spectrometers, chromatographs, and surface analysis systems, alongside NAICS 334519 for control devices and NAICS 423740 for cryogenic and gas supply systems. Her expertise spans the procurement of mission-critical equipment used in nanotechnology research, semiconductor process validation, and advanced materials testing, demonstrating a strong command of technical specifications and federal procurement best practices in high-stakes scientific domains.
