Rose May

Rosemarie May serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized scientific and laboratory equipment, as well as biological manufacturing inputs critical to public health and research initiatives. In her role, she executes procurements in full compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring transparency, competition, and value for taxpayer dollars. She handles a mix of commercial and non-developmental item acquisitions, often requiring technical evaluation and vendor qualification, particularly in highly regulated life sciences domains. Her work supports mission-critical operations across laboratories and production facilities, requiring close coordination with technical stakeholders and compliance officers to meet stringent quality and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Rosemarie maintains a procurement pattern characterized by engagement with a diverse pool of suppliers, including both large manufacturers and small businesses with specialized technical capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor responsiveness, fostering long-term relationships with firms capable of delivering precision instruments and biomanufacturing outputs under strict quality controls. She prioritizes vendors with demonstrated expertise in regulatory compliance, traceability, and validated production processes. Rosemarie exhibits a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. However, she consistently allocates 16.7% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses with proven capacity in high-precision manufacturing and analytical instrumentation. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325414 (Biological Product Manufacturing) and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring biologics, reagents, and precision lab equipment such as chromatography systems and spectrometers. She also engages with NAICS 811219 for specialized maintenance and calibration services. Her technical domain knowledge spans Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), ISO 13485 compliance, and laboratory validation protocols, ensuring acquisitions meet rigorous scientific and regulatory requirements.
