Juana A Diaz

Juana T. Diaz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering professional, scientific, and technical services that meet operational needs. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense, service-based procurements, with a strong emphasis on laboratory testing, professional consulting, and specialized technical support. Diaz is known for her meticulous approach to source selection and her commitment to transparent, competitive contracting processes that uphold integrity and efficiency. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable due to limited award data, Diaz engages with a diverse range of vendors, including small businesses, independent consultants, and specialized service providers across professional service sectors. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for open competition, with a structured emphasis on fair and reasonable pricing, performance-based outcomes, and contractor accountability. She maintains collaborative relationships with industry stakeholders to foster innovation and ensure alignment between agency requirements and market capabilities. Diaz demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 13% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not frequently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small firms. Her contracting approach aligns with broader federal goals to promote equitable access to government contracts while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), indicating expertise in laboratory analysis, technical consulting, and specialized scientific support. She also regularly procures veterinary services, advertising, and animal production services, showcasing a broad but niche technical domain that blends science, compliance, and operational support.
