Alice P. Martinez

Alice P. Martinez serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), where she manages the acquisition of critical healthcare support services and medical technology to sustain operational readiness across the Department of Defense’s global medical infrastructure. Her responsibilities include developing, soliciting, and administering contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on clinical workflow modernization, diagnostic equipment, pharmaceutical supply chain resilience, and health data systems. She routinely handles competitive procurements for professional services, laboratory supplies, and medical device maintenance, ensuring alignment with DHA’s mission to deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable healthcare to service members, retirees, and their families. Martinez maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc., reflecting a preference for specialized providers in medical waste management, bioscience diagnostics, health IT infrastructure, and clinical monitoring equipment. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing deep technical expertise in military and civilian healthcare environments. While the majority of her acquisitions (70.6%) are conducted as full and open competitions, she actively supports small business participation, with nearly one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses without compromising mission-critical capabilities or supply chain reliability. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories), 621410 (Family Planning Centers), and 325413 (In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in procuring clinical diagnostics, reproductive health services, and laboratory reagents. She also engages with firms in health information systems and telecommunications infrastructure, reflecting a broad technical command over the integrated medical ecosystem supporting DHA’s operational mission.
