Samantha D. Fuchs

Samantha D. Fuchs serves as a Contract Specialist within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she manages the procurement of mission-critical environmental science and analytical support services. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering high-precision instrumentation, engineering expertise, and operational services that underpin the Agency’s environmental monitoring and regulatory enforcement objectives. She specializes in complex acquisitions for laboratory equipment, environmental consulting, and technical infrastructure, coordinating with scientific stakeholders to align procurement outcomes with technical specifications and compliance requirements. Fuchs maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., and VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC, all of which provide niche capabilities in environmental analysis and laboratory support. She also engages with contractors such as OMEGA PAINTING & CONTRACTING LLC and GREENLIFETECH CORP for facility-specific and environmental remediation services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical alignment, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative partnerships that support sustained operational readiness. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) preferences. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where technical requirements permit, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding the pool of qualified environmental technology providers. Fuchs primarily procures under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting her focus on high-end environmental testing equipment and applied scientific consulting. She also manages acquisitions under NAICS 334515 for electrical measurement instruments and 238220 for specialized environmental infrastructure, underscoring her technical fluency across laboratory, field, and facility-based procurement domains.
