Jolomi Omatete

Jolomi Omatete serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements across scientific, technical, and laboratory services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical acquisitions through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses analytical instrumentation, testing services, and professional technical support, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, performance-based contracting, and source selection methodologies. She plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement outcomes with agency objectives, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity scientific capabilities. Omatete maintains a broad vendor network, engaging both large-scale manufacturers and specialized small businesses in the analytical and laboratory services sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she routinely collaborates with firms capable of delivering precision instruments, calibration services, and data analysis solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance metrics, deliverable-based milestones, and post-award oversight to ensure quality and compliance. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical excellence and regulatory adherence. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, with 7.8% of contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5) and a modest 0.5% allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern indicates a balanced approach—prioritizing market competition while intentionally creating opportunities for qualified small businesses within her technical domains. Omatete’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 811219 (Other Personal Services), reflecting expertise in high-precision scientific equipment and specialized technical support. She also regularly procures services under 541990 (Other Professional Services) and 541380 (Testing Laboratories), demonstrating proficiency in acquiring analytical testing, calibration, and research support. Her domain expertise lies in scientific instrumentation, laboratory compliance, and technical service delivery—areas requiring nuanced understanding of industry standards and federal testing protocols.
