Marlene Weishuhn

Marlene Weishuhn serves as a CDC Program Manager responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and management of professional and technical services critical to public health initiatives. In this role, she plays a pivotal part in the agency’s acquisition strategy, ensuring that contracts align with CDC’s mission to protect national health through science-based solutions. She typically manages complex, non-construction service acquisitions under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, focusing on high-level technical support, data analysis, and program evaluation services that require specialized scientific and operational expertise. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the available data, Weishuhn’s procurement activity suggests a preference for engaging a broad spectrum of qualified professional service providers, including firms with deep domain knowledge in epidemiology, health informatics, and public health systems support. Her contracting patterns reflect a results-driven approach, prioritizing technical capability and compliance over vendor size or socioeconomic status, with no set-asides applied to her acquisitions. Her set-aside preferences are uniformly non-set-aside, indicating a procurement strategy centered on open competition and merit-based selection. This reflects a commitment to securing the most technically proficient and qualified service providers, regardless of socioeconomic designation, consistent with mission-critical public health imperatives. Weishuhn’s procurement focus is exclusively concentrated under NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized services such as biostatistical analysis, health communication strategy, behavioral health research support, and outbreak response consulting. Her expertise lies in acquiring high-integrity, evidence-based technical services that directly inform CDC’s public health surveillance, preparedness, and response programs.
