Summer Green

Summer Green serves as the Program Point of Contact for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, playing a critical role in aligning acquisition strategy with public health mission priorities. She facilitates the planning, requirements development, and lifecycle management of technical and scientific procurements that support disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, and emergency response capabilities. Working closely with scientific and operational teams, she ensures that contracting actions reflect evidence-based public health needs, particularly in areas requiring rapid deployment of diagnostics, data infrastructure, and specialized medical supply chains. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, mission-critical services and equipment that support CDC’s national and global health security objectives. Green maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with leading biopharmaceutical and healthcare distribution entities, including Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, GlaxoSmithKline LLC, Pfizer Inc., Sanofi Pasteur Inc., and McKesson Specialty Distribution LLC. These relationships are primarily centered on the procurement of vaccines, therapeutic agents, cold chain logistics, and specialized medical distribution services essential to national immunization and outbreak response programs. Her engagement with these contractors is characterized by strategic collaboration, regulatory compliance oversight, and coordination of multi-year delivery schedules aligned with public health timelines. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while 22.2% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern demonstrates a balanced approach—prioritizing scale and capability from large industry partners while maintaining a deliberate, measurable commitment to small business inclusion in non-core technical services and support functions. Green’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS categories supporting scientific infrastructure and data-driven public health operations, including Custom Computer Programming Services, Computing Infrastructure Providers, and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. She regularly procures bioinformatics platforms, real-time data analytics systems, diagnostic instrumentation, and consulting services for public health program management, reflecting deep technical expertise in the intersection of laboratory science, health informatics, and emergency response systems.
