Jenifer McCune

Jenifer McCune serves as a key procurement lead within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, overseeing the acquisition of specialized scientific and technical services critical to environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance. She manages a portfolio centered on high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting, and applied research services that support evidence-based environmental decision-making. Her work ensures the agency’s laboratories and field operations are equipped with cutting-edge tools and expert support to meet federal environmental standards and advance scientific integrity. McCune maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of vendors including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and GREENLIFETECH CORP, among others, who provide specialized analytical equipment, environmental remediation services, and laboratory support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical suppliers with proven capabilities in environmental science and instrumentation, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory alignment. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, reflecting a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she consistently allocates 14.3% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation within technically demanding domains. McCune’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity also in 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). She routinely acquires mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, environmental sampling kits, and professional training services in environmental science, underscoring her deep expertise in supporting EPA’s mission through technically sophisticated, science-driven acquisitions.
