Kimberly Loesch

Kimberly F. Loesch serves as a key procurement lead within the Environmental Protection Agency’s Michigan–County Office of Labor in Ann Arbor, where she manages the acquisition of high-precision laboratory instrumentation and technical services critical to environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to advance analytical capabilities in air, water, and emissions testing through the procurement of chromatographic, spectrometric, and mass spectrometry systems. She oversees end-to-end contracting processes for complex scientific equipment and related engineering support, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and technical specifications required for accredited environmental laboratories. Loesch maintains consistent partnerships with a focused group of specialized vendors, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Mid Atlantic Machinery Inc., and DC Swann LLC, all of which provide high-performance analytical instruments, calibration services, and technical integration support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in laboratory instrumentation and environmental compliance systems, fostering long-term relationships built on technical reliability and service excellence. She prioritizes vendors capable of delivering turnkey solutions that meet EPA’s stringent performance and validation standards. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 93.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment and services required. Only 6.7% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited application of socioeconomic preferences, reserved for cases where qualified small businesses can meet exacting technical requirements. Loesch’s primary NAICS focus is 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), followed by 541330 (Engineering Services) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). She routinely procures gas chromatographs, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometers, and emission monitoring systems, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental analytical science and the regulatory frameworks governing their use in federal compliance programs.
