Naan Pocen

Naan Pocen serves as a key procurement specialist within the Naval Medical Research Center, supporting the agency’s mission to enhance the operational readiness of Navy and Marine Corps personnel through advanced biomedical technologies. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in diagnostic and field-deployable medical systems, Pocen oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for precision instrumentation, laboratory equipment maintenance, and rapid diagnostic tools tailored for austere environments. Their work directly enables force health protection initiatives by ensuring timely access to mission-critical medical technologies validated for expeditionary use. Pocen maintains a consistent and strategic relationship with REES SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION, the primary contractor for electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance services. This partnership reflects a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in calibrating, servicing, and upgrading high-sensitivity medical instrumentation used in field laboratories and deployed medical units. The working relationship is characterized by repeat engagements, technical collaboration, and performance-based contract structures that emphasize reliability and rapid turnaround in operational settings. Pocen’s procurement portfolio reflects no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This approach prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on performance, compliance with military specifications, and the availability of specialized engineering support rather than socioeconomic targeting. The primary NAICS classification under Pocen’s purview is 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), underscoring deep expertise in sustaining high-accuracy diagnostic and monitoring systems. Procurements center on the repair, calibration, and lifecycle support of laboratory-grade analyzers, point-of-care devices, and field-deployable biosensors—technologies critical to infectious disease surveillance and rapid pathogen identification in austere or combat environments.
