Adrian Nerida

Adrian Nerida serves as a key procurement professional at Naval Medical Center San Diego (N00259), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain combat-ready medical forces through the acquisition of advanced electromedical, surgical, and diagnostic equipment. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions, Nerida specializes in securing high-precision instruments and laboratory systems critical to clinical operations and operational readiness. Their portfolio encompasses the lifecycle management of medical technology, from initial requirements validation through contract award and performance oversight, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for reliability, interoperability, and maintenance support. Nerida maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of surgical instrumentation, analytical laboratory equipment, and biomedical service providers. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, partnerships are consistently formed with firms possessing technical expertise in FDA-cleared medical devices, ISO 13485-certified production, and service-level agreements for preventive maintenance and calibration. Vendor engagement emphasizes technical compliance, quality assurance, and responsiveness to military-specific operational environments. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 89.5% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Nerida actively supports small business participation, with 10.5% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes market competition while enabling qualified small firms to contribute to critical medical capabilities. The primary NAICS focus areas—811219 (Medical and Diagnostic Laboratory Services), 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing)—reveal deep expertise in procuring precision medical devices, surgical tools, and diagnostic analyzers. Nerida’s technical domain centers on electromedical systems, laboratory automation, and biomedical instrumentation, ensuring the center maintains cutting-edge capabilities in trauma care, surgical support, and clinical diagnostics for active-duty personnel and their families.
