Tonya Spratt-Williams

Tonya Spratt-Williams serves as a key procurement lead within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), supporting the agency’s mission to accelerate the acquisition and deployment of medical countermeasures and emergency response infrastructure. She manages complex acquisitions aligned with national preparedness priorities, focusing on rapid procurement of medical equipment, biocontainment systems, and emergency relief services to ensure surge capacity during public health emergencies. Her work directly enables ASPR’s ability to respond to bioterrorism threats and large-scale disasters by securing critical supplies and services through expedited contracting pathways, including Other Transaction Authorities and urgent requirement mechanisms. Her contractor relationships center on medical wholesalers and emergency services providers with proven capabilities in logistics, cold-chain distribution, and field-deployable medical systems. She engages with a broad base of commercial vendors, including established medical equipment distributors and specialized emergency response contractors, prioritizing technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and rapid scalability. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently collaborates with firms capable of meeting stringent FDA and CDC standards for medical device and pharmaceutical supply chain integrity. Spratt-Williams maintains a strong preference for unrestricted acquisitions, with 100% of her contracting activity conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This reflects the urgent, mission-critical nature of ASPR’s requirements, where speed and scalability often outweigh socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures compliance with all federal procurement regulations and may leverage small business subcontracting where operationally feasible. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423450, encompassing medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies, as well as NAICS 624230 for emergency and relief services. She specializes in acquiring portable biocontainment units, diagnostic kits, personal protective equipment, and mobile medical response systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of public health logistics and emergency preparedness procurement.
