Tammy Adams

Tammy Adams serves as a Contracting Officer within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where she manages the procurement of high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental research services, and technical support solutions critical to evidence-based environmental decision-making. Her portfolio centers on acquiring laboratory equipment, field monitoring systems, and applied scientific consulting services that enable regulatory compliance and environmental risk assessment. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring acquisitions align with EPA’s mission to advance environmental science through technically rigorous, compliant, and timely contracting practices. Tammy maintains longstanding relationships with key vendors including Pegasus Technical Services, Inc., Biospyder Technologies, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., Omega Painting & Contracting LLC, and Verina Consulting Group LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental analytics, laboratory instrumentation maintenance, and site-specific remediation services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor reliability, fostering collaborative, long-term engagements with contractors who consistently deliver mission-critical capabilities under complex regulatory frameworks. Tammy’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her procurement decisions are grounded in technical merit and vendor capability rather than socioeconomic criteria, reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment and services required to meet EPA’s scientific standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), accounting for 60% of her activity, followed by NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and NAICS 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She routinely procures mass spectrometers, chromatography systems, environmental sampling kits, and expert consulting services for contaminant analysis, environmental modeling, and compliance monitoring, demonstrating deep domain expertise in environmental science and laboratory operations.
