Michael Kreacic

Michael Kreacic serves as a key procurement professional within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where he manages the acquisition of specialized environmental science and analytical support services critical to regulatory compliance and environmental monitoring. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions for high-precision laboratory instrumentation, environmental consulting, and operational support systems that enable evidence-based decision-making. Kreacic focuses on complex technical procurements requiring stringent performance specifications, often involving federal compliance with ASTM, EPA Methods, and ISO standards, ensuring that acquisitions align with the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through reliable data collection and analysis. He maintains established working relationships with a core group of technical vendors including Pegasus Technical Services, Inc., Biospyder Technologies, Inc., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., firms known for their expertise in environmental sampling, analytical instrumentation, and field service support. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on technical credibility, quality assurance, and consistent delivery of mission-critical services. Kreacic also engages with facilities and specialty contractors such as Omega Painting & Contracting LLC and Verina Consulting Group LLC to support infrastructure and programmatic needs, demonstrating a balanced reliance on both niche technical providers and broader service enablers. Kreacic’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 80% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently integrates small business participation, with nearly 20% of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a targeted 2.2% allocation to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate, compliant approach to socioeconomic objectives without compromising technical requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), followed by environmental consulting (541620) and testing laboratory services (541380), underscoring deep technical expertise in environmental analytics, chromatography systems, and field-deployable monitoring platforms. He also supports ancillary needs in facilities maintenance (561210) and infrastructure (812930), ensuring holistic operational readiness for EPA’s regional environmental programs.
