Jodie Zurn

Jodie Zurn is a procurement professional dedicated to the acquisition of iron and steel pipe and tube products manufactured from purchased steel, operating within a framework that prioritizes small business participation across all contracting actions. With a 100% focus on Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, Zurn ensures that federal procurement opportunities in this specialized manufacturing domain are exclusively reserved for small businesses, fostering equitable access to government contracts and strengthening the domestic industrial base. Their role centers on executing full-cycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with socioeconomic regulations and technical specifications unique to steel pipe and tube manufacturing. While specific contractor names are not available, Zurn’s contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with a network of small businesses certified under various socioeconomic programs, including 8(a), HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns, all operating within the iron and steel pipe manufacturing sector. These vendor partnerships are built on technical proficiency in ASTM and API standards, capacity for batch production, and adherence to stringent quality control protocols required for critical infrastructure applications. Zurn’s approach emphasizes long-term vendor development and performance-based outcomes over transactional procurement. Zurn’s procurement portfolio is entirely concentrated under NAICS 331210, reflecting deep expertise in the technical and regulatory nuances of manufacturing seamless and welded steel pipe and tube products from purchased steel billets or coils. This specialization requires intimate knowledge of metallurgical processes, non-destructive testing, and compliance with DOT, ASME, and other industry-specific codes. Their work supports national infrastructure, energy, and defense systems reliant on high-integrity piping solutions, positioning Zurn as a key steward of domestic manufacturing capability within the federal supply chain.
