Jocelyn Griffith

Jocelyn Griffith supports the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1) in executing critical procurement strategies aligned with its mission to counter weapons of mass destruction and emerging security threats. While her formal title is not specified, her procurement activities center on technical services and specialized equipment procurement essential to threat detection, forensic analysis, and operational response capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning scientific consulting, advanced instrumentation, and cloud-enabled analytical platforms, ensuring alignment with national security requirements and rapid deployment timelines. Her work directly enables HDTRA1’s scientific and technical workforce to develop and field next-generation counter-WMD systems. Griffith maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense and scientific contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These relationships reflect a preference for high-capacity, mission-critical vendors with proven expertise in CBRNE threat mitigation, systems integration, and secure cloud infrastructure. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term technical collaboration, often involving performance-based task orders and research and development support contracts under broad agency-wide Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Her procurement approach reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small business participation while maintaining access to large-scale technical capabilities. She actively leverages the small business ecosystem to source agile, specialized solutions without compromising mission readiness. Griffith’s primary NAICS focus is on 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting heavy reliance on expert analytical and advisory services for threat assessment and system design. She also frequently procures under 333998 (Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery) for specialized detection equipment and 541990 (Other Professional Services) for cross-domain technical support. Her domain expertise lies in CBRNE defense, forensic analysis, and secure data analytics, making her a key enabler of HDTRA1’s scientific and operational mission.
