Monique Coney

Monique Coney serves as a key procurement professional within the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard public health through strategic acquisition of critical scientific and operational resources. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on laboratory diagnostics, biomedical research tools, and data infrastructure essential for disease surveillance and rapid response. Her work ensures the timely deployment of advanced analytical instruments, clinical testing platforms, and IT-enabled public health systems that underpin CDC’s national and global health initiatives. She routinely handles complex, high-stakes procurements requiring strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications aligned with public health emergencies. Coney maintains established relationships with leading contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Cepheid, GlaxoSmithKline, MRIGLOBAL, and the New York City Health & Hospitals Corp. These partnerships span diagnostic reagent supply, laboratory automation, biomedical research services, and large-scale public health infrastructure support. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical innovation, and scalability to meet evolving public health demands, often involving multi-year, performance-based contracts with stringent quality and delivery requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 91.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business set-asides account for 8.3% of awards, her portfolio prioritizes technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation goals. Coney’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (software publishing for health analytics), 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), and 541990 (professional scientific services). She routinely acquires next-generation PCR systems, genomic sequencing platforms, epidemiological data tools, and laboratory modernization services, demonstrating deep expertise in life sciences procurement and the technical requirements of high-compliance public health operations.
