Lenore L Mickle

Lenore L. Mickle serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing mission-critical procurement objectives across diverse technical domains. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, laboratory equipment, and industrial supplies, with a focus on delivering efficient, transparent, and legally sound contracting solutions that align with agency priorities and fiscal accountability standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Mickle maintains a broad network of vendors across multiple industrial sectors, engaging both large-capability firms and small businesses to fulfill complex procurement needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations, with a strong emphasis on market research and fair opportunity practices. She routinely collaborates with suppliers offering specialized equipment, diagnostic materials, and facilities support services, fostering relationships built on performance reliability and regulatory adherence. Mickle demonstrates a clear commitment to small business participation, with nearly 18% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand market access for small businesses, though the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all eligible offerors, reflecting a balanced strategy between competition and inclusion. She does not appear to routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad-based small business opportunities that maximize vendor participation without narrowing eligibility. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 423490 (Professional Equipment Wholesalers), and 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing), indicating expertise in procuring laboratory consumables, analytical instrumentation, and facility maintenance solutions. She also regularly acquires specialized glassware and precision lab instruments, demonstrating technical fluency in life sciences and industrial manufacturing supply chains. Mickle’s work supports operational readiness through the reliable delivery of mission-enabling goods and services.
