Susan H. Hicks is a procurement professional dedicated to advancing technical and scientific acquisitions within a federal agency focused on advanced instrumentation and research support. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning analytical laboratory equipment, electrical measurement systems, and educational technology services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical scientific objectives. Her work supports the agency’s broader goal of enabling high-precision research through reliable, cutting-edge instrumentation and associated technical services, often coordinating with scientific divisions to define performance requirements and evaluate technical proposals. Hicks cultivates strategic relationships with a broad base of vendors, particularly small businesses specializing in precision manufacturing and scientific instrumentation. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages manufacturers of analytical instruments, test and measurement devices, and educational technology providers, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize innovation and compliance with federal standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, technical evaluation rigor, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Hicks demonstrates a pronounced preference for Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 61% of her awards designated for small businesses. She also supports Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns, albeit at a minimal level, reflecting a broader commitment to expanding opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs. Her contracting patterns align with federal priorities to enhance small business participation in high-tech procurement. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring Electrical Signals), indicating deep expertise in procuring laboratory-grade equipment for scientific research. She also regularly acquires specialized services from educational institutions under NAICS 611310, supporting workforce development and technical training initiatives. Hicks’ work bridges the gap between scientific need and commercial capability, ensuring federal agencies have access to the most advanced measurement and testing technologies available.
