Tonya S. Justice

Tonya S. Justice supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Office of Acquisition Services in executing mission-critical procurement actions that enable public health preparedness and scientific response. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on laboratory diagnostics, biomedical research support, and data-driven public health operations, ensuring timely acquisition of technical services and specialized equipment critical to infectious disease surveillance and laboratory capacity building. Her work directly advances CDC’s mandate to protect national health through rapid, evidence-based procurement aligned with federal acquisition regulations and strategic health security priorities. Justice maintains established relationships with key contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, GlaxoSmithKline, New York City Health & Hospitals Corp, MRIGLOBAL, and Cepheid, reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in clinical diagnostics, epidemiological data systems, and high-complexity laboratory services. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor reliability, often involving complex service contracts requiring stringent quality assurance and regulatory alignment with CDC’s scientific standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-aside designation, while maintaining a measured commitment to small business participation—approximately 11.1% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides, and 5.6% target women-owned small businesses. This balance reflects a strategic emphasis on capability over socioeconomic categorization, while still fostering diversity in the supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (other professional, scientific, and technical services) and 621511 (medical laboratories), underscoring deep expertise in securing analytical services, diagnostic test development, and public health informatics solutions. She routinely procures specialized laboratory instrumentation, bioinformatics platforms, and epidemiological support services, demonstrating technical fluency in molecular diagnostics, biosafety protocols, and real-time disease monitoring systems essential to CDC’s operational mission.
