Kelli T Broda

Kelli T. Broda serves as a Procurement Technician responsible for supporting the acquisition lifecycle for scientific and technical services, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and agency mission objectives. In this role, she facilitates the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for specialized research and analytical instrumentation, working closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to align procurement strategy with operational needs. Her work is critical to enabling mission-critical scientific capabilities, particularly in physical, engineering, and life sciences research domains. She handles a range of acquisition types, including competitive sealed bids, requests for proposals, and simplified acquisitions under the simplified acquisition threshold. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the available data, Broda’s procurement activity reflects consistent engagement with vendors specializing in high-precision laboratory equipment, research services, and analytical instrument systems. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical competence, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery of mission-supporting solutions. She collaborates with a diverse pool of suppliers, prioritizing vendors with proven expertise in scientific instrumentation and R&D service delivery. Broda’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This indicates a procurement approach centered on technical merit and capability rather than socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business goals and reporting requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712, reflecting deep expertise in procuring research and development services across physical, engineering, and life sciences. She also regularly acquires analytical laboratory instruments under NAICS 334516 and related support services under NAICS 811219, demonstrating specialized knowledge in laboratory automation, calibration, and scientific equipment maintenance. Her technical domain expertise ensures that acquisitions meet stringent performance, safety, and interoperability standards.
