Gerold D. Young

Gerold D. Young serves as a key procurement lead within the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the Environmental Protection Agency, where he manages complex acquisitions supporting environmental science and regulatory compliance. His responsibilities center on securing high-precision analytical instrumentation, environmental consulting services, and specialized construction support to enable data-driven environmental monitoring and risk assessment. Young’s portfolio spans technical domains requiring rigorous performance standards, including laboratory equipment, field deployment systems, and infrastructure upgrades critical to EPA’s mission of protecting public health and the environment. He maintains sustained relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including BIOSPYDER TECHNOLOGIES, INC. for advanced environmental sensing systems, Boh Environmental, L.L.C. for environmental remediation and compliance services, and VERINA CONSULTING GROUP LLC for engineering and analytical support. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established technical partners with proven capabilities in regulatory-grade instrumentation and environmental engineering, often leveraging long-term performance histories to ensure mission-critical reliability. Young’s acquisition strategy reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This indicates a procurement focus on technical capability and performance outcomes over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing vendor expertise and compliance with federal environmental standards. His primary procurement activities align with NAICS codes 334513 and 334516, emphasizing the acquisition of industrial process control and analytical laboratory instruments; 541330 for engineering services; and 236220 and 237310 for commercial and infrastructure construction. This reflects deep expertise in procuring mission-critical technical systems and physical assets that support EPA’s environmental data collection, laboratory analysis, and site remediation operations.
