Kathleen E. Roe

Kathleen E. Roe serves as a Contracting Officer for the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she leads the procurement of mission-critical environmental science and operational support services. Her portfolio centers on acquiring high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting, and remediation services that directly support EPA’s evidence-based regulatory and monitoring programs. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s environmental science objectives. Roe maintains enduring relationships with key contractors including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC, and GREENLIFETECH CORP, among others. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on specialized firms capable of delivering technical expertise in environmental analysis, laboratory support, and site remediation. Her contracting patterns favor established vendors with proven capabilities in environmental science domains, often engaging them through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contracts to ensure technical rigor and accountability. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides (77.4%), Roe demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, regularly awarding contracts under Total Small Business Set-Asides (19.4%) and 8(a) competed programs (3.2%). Her socioeconomic contracting approach aligns with federal goals to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and certified businesses without compromising technical quality or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting deep expertise in environmental compliance, field sampling, and laboratory instrumentation procurement. She consistently acquires services and equipment supporting air, water, and soil monitoring, risk assessment, and contamination cleanup, ensuring the EPA’s scientific and regulatory missions are supported by reliable, high-performance solutions.
