Allan L Tabliago

Allan Tabliago serves as a Contract Specialist with the 244-NETWORK Contract Office 4 (36C244) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements to modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for high-acuity medical equipment, surgical supplies, and diagnostic instrumentation, ensuring alignment with VA clinical standards and operational readiness. His work directly supports the delivery of safe, efficient, and technologically advanced care across VA medical centers and community-based outpatient clinics, with a focus on acquiring electromedical and analytical laboratory systems critical to diagnostic precision and patient outcomes. Tabliago maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Exelan Pharmaceuticals Inc., RLS Construction Group, LLC, and Trans-Med Ambulance Inc., among others. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in medical device manufacturing, clinical logistics, and facility infrastructure support. He engages with both large-capacity suppliers and specialized firms capable of meeting stringent FDA and ANSI compliance requirements, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory adherence. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on open competition, with 88.8% of awards issued without set-asides. While small business participation is present, it is modest, with service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses accounting for 7.0% of awards and total small business set-asides at 4.3%. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and clinical necessity over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains attentive to eligible SDVOSB vendors when requirements align with their specialized expertise. Tabliago’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), with additional activity in analytical laboratory instrumentation (334516) and surgical appliance manufacturing (339113). He specializes in acquiring precision diagnostic tools, electrosurgical systems, and clinical monitoring equipment, demonstrating deep technical fluency in medical device procurement and compliance with FDA Class II and III regulatory frameworks.
