Melissa Randazzo

Melissa Randazzo serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from market research and requirement development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring the agency’s acquisition strategy aligns with federal procurement regulations and mission-critical needs, particularly in the healthcare and medical supply sectors. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial-off-the-shelf medical products, pharmaceutical inputs, and specialized equipment, requiring deep familiarity with FAR and DFARS compliance, source selection methodologies, and performance-based contracting principles. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Randazzo’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with merchant wholesalers and manufacturers in the medical supply chain. She typically works with a mix of large-capacity distributors and niche producers capable of meeting stringent quality and regulatory standards, including FDA compliance and GMP requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, supply chain resilience, and vendor performance metrics, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate consistent delivery and quality assurance. Randazzo’s contracting activity is entirely focused on open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing broad competition and commercial availability over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not currently leverage targeted small business programs, her approach reflects a preference for maximizing market access and ensuring the widest possible pool of qualified suppliers. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325411 (Medicinal and Botanical Manufacturing) and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity also in medical wholesaling (423450 and 424210). This demonstrates specialized expertise in procuring pharmaceutical ingredients, sterile medical devices, and bulk medical supplies, requiring technical understanding of regulatory classifications, sterilization protocols, and supply chain logistics in regulated healthcare environments.
