Stella L. Hazlett

Stella L. Hazlett serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements for specialized scientific and medical instrumentation. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with mission-critical operational needs. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, including sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with a focus on high-precision equipment requiring technical evaluation and performance-based specifications. Her work supports the acquisition of advanced analytical and industrial control systems critical to research, testing, and healthcare delivery environments. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Hazlett’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with manufacturers of precision measurement devices and medical instrumentation. She typically works with a mix of large-tier suppliers and mid-sized niche vendors capable of meeting stringent technical and quality assurance requirements, including ISO 13485 certification and FDA-regulated manufacturing standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor capability assessments, technical proposal evaluations, and post-award performance monitoring to ensure deliverables meet rigorous functional specifications. Hazlett’s portfolio reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, indicating a primary focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern suggests that her requirements are driven by the specialized nature of the equipment procured—where only a limited pool of qualified manufacturers can meet performance, safety, and regulatory criteria. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her current awards, her process remains fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic statutes. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on precision measuring and control devices under 334513, 334515, and 334519. She specializes in acquiring laboratory analyzers, surgical tools, process control sensors, and electrical signal measurement systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in instrumentation engineering and regulatory compliance for medical and industrial applications.
