Philip Denis

Philip Denis serves as a 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 capabilities. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on laboratory diagnostics, biomedical research support, and data systems for disease surveillance and response. His work ensures timely access to advanced technologies and services essential for infectious disease detection, clinical testing infrastructure, and real-time epidemiological analysis, directly enabling CDC’s rapid response to national and global health threats. His primary contractor relationships include GENERAL DYNAMICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, INC., GLAXOSMITHKLINE, LLC, NEW YORK CITY HEALTH & HOSPITALS CORP, MRIGLOBAL, and CEPHEID—organizations with deep expertise in diagnostic instrumentation, clinical research support, and public health informatics. Denis cultivates long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-compliance, high-reliability solutions in regulated environments, often requiring FDA-cleared or CLIA-compliant technologies. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and supply chain resilience. While the majority of his acquisitions are open competition (75%), he maintains a consistent 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small businesses in the public health ecosystem. His socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize broad-based small business participation without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, favoring competitive small business awards aligned with technical capability. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 811210 (electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance), reflecting heavy investment in diagnostic device maintenance and calibration services, alongside NAICS 541512 (computer systems design) and 511210 (software publishing), indicating strong demand for bioinformatics platforms, data analytics tools, and laboratory information management systems. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of public health operations and advanced technical infrastructure.
