Amanda Hildreth

Amanda J. Hildreth serves as a Contracting Officer for the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 (36C261) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages the acquisition of critical medical equipment, surgical supplies, and laboratory instrumentation to sustain and modernize VA healthcare infrastructure. Her portfolio supports diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services across VA medical facilities, ensuring clinical readiness and operational continuity for veteran care. She specializes in complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, frequently utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and multiple-award task order mechanisms to meet dynamic facility needs while maintaining strict compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Hildreth maintains enduring relationships with leading suppliers in the medical technology and healthcare infrastructure sectors, including Abbott Laboratories, Cynergy Professional Systems, Integrated Trans Joint Venture, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that prioritize reliability, innovation, and service excellence in high-stakes clinical environments. While the majority of her acquisitions—88.6%—are conducted without set-asides, Hildreth demonstrates a measurable commitment to small business participation, with 10% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 1.4% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach: prioritizing competition while strategically leveraging small business programs to expand vendor diversity and enhance innovation pipelines. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 621610 (Home Health Care Services), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), underscoring her technical expertise in clinical diagnostics, procedural support systems, and biomedical equipment procurement. She consistently aligns acquisitions with VA’s mission to deliver cutting-edge, accessible care through reliable, compliant, and technologically advanced medical solutions.
