Julienne Keiser

Julienne Keiser serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized scientific and laboratory equipment, diagnostic materials, and related technical services. She plays a critical role in ensuring the agency’s operational readiness by procuring high-precision analytical instruments and laboratory consumables aligned with federal procurement regulations. Her portfolio centers on complex technical requirements, requiring close collaboration with engineering, research, and compliance teams to evaluate specifications, assess vendor capabilities, and ensure conformance with quality and safety standards. She handles both competitive and sole-source acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, prioritizing timely delivery and technical accuracy in mission-critical procurements. Julienne maintains a broad network of suppliers specializing in analytical instrumentation, diagnostic manufacturing, and laboratory support services. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages with mid-tier and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical and regulatory benchmarks. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical documentation compliance, and post-award performance monitoring, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate reliability and innovation in niche technical domains. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 82.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 17.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on broad-based small business eligibility to maximize competition while ensuring technical suitability. Julienne’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), where she acquires chromatography systems, spectrometers, and automated lab analyzers. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair) and software solutions under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers). Her domain expertise spans clinical diagnostics, biological product manufacturing, and in-vitro diagnostic substance production, positioning her as a specialist in laboratory and life sciences procurement.
