Maryann Schlemmer

Maryann Schlemmer serves as the Program Point of Contact for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, playing a critical role in aligning procurement activities with the agency’s public health mission. She facilitates the acquisition of scientific, technical, and diagnostic services essential to disease surveillance, laboratory capacity building, and emergency response initiatives. Her work bridges programmatic needs with contracting execution, ensuring that procurements support CDC’s strategic priorities in infectious disease control, environmental health, and real-time data analytics. She typically handles complex, non-personal services contracts requiring specialized technical expertise and high regulatory compliance. Schlemmer maintains consistent partnerships with leading pharmaceutical and medical distribution entities, including Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, GlaxoSmithKline LLC, Pfizer Inc., Sanofi Pasteur Inc., and McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC. These relationships center on the procurement of vaccines, diagnostic reagents, therapeutic supply chains, and specialized distribution logistics critical to national immunization and outbreak response programs. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, mission-critical vendor engagements grounded in scientific reliability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-asides. Small business participation is present but limited, with equal portions of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts, each at 6.3%. While not a primary driver of socioeconomic contracting, she ensures compliance with federal small business goals where programmatic needs permit.
