Marie Crescenzo

Marie Crescenzo serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the medical and surgical equipment sector, with a strong emphasis on ophthalmic goods manufacturing. Her role centers on ensuring timely and compliant procurement of specialized medical devices and related materials critical to public health initiatives. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives. Her portfolio is highly specialized, focusing on technical products requiring precise regulatory and engineering standards. Her contractor relationships are primarily with manufacturers and suppliers specializing in precision medical instrumentation and polymer-based medical components. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with a diverse base of small and mid-tier suppliers capable of meeting stringent quality control and FDA compliance requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, supply chain reliability, and adherence to regulatory frameworks rather than volume-based vendor relationships. Crescenzo demonstrates a clear preference for small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively promotes equitable access for small businesses capable of delivering specialized ophthalmic and surgical products. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to competition and inclusion, favoring small business eligibility without reliance on specific programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339115 (Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing), where she acquires lenses, frames, diagnostic equipment, and vision correction devices. She also procures related materials under NAICS 325211 (Plastics Material and Resin Manufacturing) and NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), demonstrating deep domain expertise in materials science and medical device design. Her technical acumen ensures acquisitions meet clinical, ergonomic, and sterilization standards critical to patient safety and operational efficacy.
