Rosalind Clark

Rosalind Clark supports the National Institutes of Health Office of Acquisition and Logistics Operations (OALO) in procuring mission-critical instrumentation and research services essential to advancing biomedical discovery. While her formal title is not listed, her procurement activities center on acquiring high-precision analytical laboratory equipment, electromedical devices, and specialized research support services that enable NIH’s scientific mission. She manages complex acquisitions across technical domains requiring stringent compliance with federal procurement regulations, ensuring timely delivery of cutting-edge tools for NIH-funded researchers and laboratories. Her contractor relationships are primarily with specialized manufacturers and technical service providers, including FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, reflecting a focus on niche vendors capable of delivering custom or highly engineered solutions. These partnerships emphasize technical capability over volume, with an emphasis on firms that can meet rigorous performance, calibration, and compliance standards for use in controlled research environments. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in biomedical instrumentation and engineering services. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong orientation toward open competition, with 83% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, she maintains a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 15.1% of awards allocated under Total Small Business Set-Asides and a modest but consistent allocation to Women-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating balanced adherence to federal socioeconomic goals without compromising technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in 541611 (Management Consulting) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design), underscoring expertise in procuring integrated research systems, data analytics platforms, and precision manufacturing components. Her domain knowledge spans diagnostic instrumentation, laboratory automation, and biotechnology research infrastructure, positioning her as a key enabler of NIH’s scientific innovation pipeline.
