Naomi Ann Jay

Naomi Ann Jay serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized medical and diagnostic equipment. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical solutions to support healthcare and clinical operations. Her portfolio primarily consists of competitive sealed bids and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on complex technical procurements requiring detailed performance specifications and risk mitigation strategies. She works closely with technical evaluators, legal counsel, and program managers to align acquisition strategies with operational needs. Naomi collaborates with a diverse pool of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in electromedical, electrotherapeutic, and surgical device technologies. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing FDA-regulated manufacturing capabilities, ISO 13485 certification, and robust quality management systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor responsiveness, technical capability, and post-award performance monitoring, fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers who demonstrate reliability and innovation in high-compliance environments. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing market competition and value. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 14.3% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both broad market access and socioeconomic goals without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Naomi’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334510 (electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus), 339113 (surgical appliances and supplies), and 334515 (instrumentation for measuring electrical signals). She specializes in acquiring diagnostic monitoring systems, therapeutic devices, and precision testing equipment used in clinical and laboratory settings. Her technical expertise includes understanding FDA classifications, biocompatibility standards, and regulatory compliance pathways, enabling her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure procurement outcomes meet stringent healthcare safety and performance requirements.
