Sherrie Randall

Sherrie Randall serves as a key procurement professional within the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, supporting the agency’s mission to safeguard public health through strategic acquisition of critical biomedical and laboratory capabilities. She manages a portfolio of complex contracts focused on infectious disease diagnostics, epidemiological data systems, and high-throughput laboratory infrastructure, ensuring timely access to technologies that enable rapid public health response. Her work directly supports CDC’s scientific and operational priorities by facilitating the acquisition of advanced diagnostic platforms, biosafety equipment, and data analytics tools essential for national surveillance and outbreak mitigation. Randall maintains strong, sustained relationships with leading contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Cepheid, MRIGLOBAL, GlaxoSmithKline, and the New York City Health & Hospitals Corp. These partnerships reflect a pattern of collaboration with both large-scale technology integrators and specialized biomedical firms capable of delivering high-compliance, regulated solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and supply chain resilience, particularly for time-sensitive public health emergencies. She exhibits a steadfast commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation and capacity within the small business ecosystem, ensuring diverse vendors can contribute to mission-critical public health initiatives. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses and other eligible entities. Her primary procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 512110 (Motion Picture and Video Production), which, in this context, refers to the acquisition of digital health communication platforms, data visualization systems, and public health education media tools essential for disseminating scientific findings and health guidance. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring non-traditional yet vital services that bridge scientific research with public engagement and health literacy.
