Tina M Jorae

Tina M. Jorae serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives within her organization. She routinely handles commercial item acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and complex service contracts under Part 15, with a focus on procurement efficiency, risk mitigation, and vendor accountability. Her work supports essential operational capabilities through timely and transparent contracting practices. Tina maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of contractors, primarily merchant wholesalers, janitorial service providers, and specialized medical suppliers. She engages with both large commercial vendors and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments and ensuring adherence to fair and open competition principles. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established market participants with proven performance histories, while actively encouraging new entrants through clear solicitation language and accessible evaluation criteria. Tina’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards conducted under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she remains committed to equitable access and transparency, ensuring all eligible vendors have a fair opportunity to compete. Her approach emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in technical capability and past performance rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 621399 (Offices of All Other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners), each accounting for 20% of her activity. She also regularly procures fabricated wire products and surgical appliance supplies under NAICS 332618 and 339113, respectively. This specialization reflects deep expertise in healthcare logistics, facility support services, and clinical supply chain management, positioning her as a key liaison between operational needs and commercial market solutions.
