Kristiane E Cooper

Kristiane E. Cooper serves as a Contracting Officer 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 federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives across health, research, and scientific services. Her portfolio primarily includes complex service-based contracts requiring technical expertise, particularly in social science research, veterinary care, and specialized hospital services. Cooper is known for her meticulous approach to requirement definition, source selection, and contract performance monitoring, ensuring that acquisitions align with agency goals and statutory requirements. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors capable of delivering high-complexity professional services. She routinely works with firms possessing specialized technical capabilities in laboratory instrumentation, clinical research, and healthcare delivery systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and accountability, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor partnerships. Cooper’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, rather than reserving contracts for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB concerns. While she does not prioritize set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, and she may support small business involvement through subcontracting or teaming arrangements when appropriate. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, Veterinary Services, and Specialty Hospitals, reflecting deep expertise in procuring scientific, clinical, and diagnostic services. She regularly manages contracts for analytical laboratory equipment, hospital operations, and behavioral health research, demonstrating technical fluency in biomedical, social science, and veterinary domains. Her work supports evidence-based decision-making and operational excellence in federally funded programs.
