Alicia Mendoza

Alicia Mendoza serves as a procurement specialist focused on the acquisition of surgical appliances and medical supplies, ensuring timely and compliant delivery of critical healthcare equipment to support clinical operations. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—within the domain of medical manufacturing. She aligns her acquisitions with federal regulatory standards and agency mission objectives, prioritizing technical specifications, quality assurance protocols, and supply chain resilience. Her portfolio is narrowly concentrated on Class II medical devices and related surgical consumables, requiring deep familiarity with FDA regulatory frameworks and ANSI/ISO standards for medical device manufacturing. Her contractor relationships are exclusively with manufacturers and distributors specializing in surgical appliance production, including firms certified under ISO 13485 and registered with the FDA as medical device establishments. While no single vendor dominates her award history, she consistently engages with a stable network of U.S.-based producers capable of meeting stringent quality control and documentation requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor pre-qualification, performance-based contracting, and post-award oversight to ensure product reliability and regulatory compliance. Mendoza’s contracting activity is entirely classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a procurement strategy focused on technical capability and product conformity rather than socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a mission-driven priority to secure specialized medical devices without restriction, ensuring the highest standards of patient safety and clinical efficacy are met. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all vendors must still comply with federal contracting requirements, including reporting and ethical standards. Her primary NAICS code, 339113, underscores her specialization in the manufacturing of surgical instruments, implants, and disposable medical supplies. She procures items such as surgical drapes, sterile trays, orthopedic fixation devices, and electrosurgical units, requiring expertise in product classification under the FDA’s 510(k) and de novo pathways. Her domain expertise lies in navigating the intersection of regulatory compliance, clinical utility, and industrial manufacturing standards within the medical device sector.
