Nancy Lamon-Kritikos

Nancy Lamon-Kritikos serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex procurements in support of advanced scientific and technical missions. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and mission-critical requirements. Her portfolio centers on high-precision instrumentation and specialized professional services, aligning procurement strategy with operational needs in laboratory and medical technology domains. She routinely handles competitive sealed bids, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and other non-personal services agreements under FAR Part 12 and Part 15 frameworks. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with manufacturers of analytical and electromedical equipment, as well as technical consulting firms delivering R&D, calibration, and systems integration services. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and clear statement of work definitions, prioritizing technical capability, quality assurance, and timely delivery over cost alone. Her approach emphasizes transparent competition and contractor accountability to meet stringent scientific standards. Nancy demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with approximately 80% of her awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively promotes small business participation, dedicating nearly 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) at 1.1%. Her socioeconomic strategy balances broad market access with targeted opportunities for certified small businesses, reinforcing federal goals for equitable contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), followed by 541990 and 541690 for professional scientific services. She regularly acquires laboratory analyzers, diagnostic devices, and technical consulting for data interpretation and compliance testing, reflecting deep expertise in life sciences, environmental monitoring, and precision instrumentation markets.
