Amanda M. Heller

Amanda M. Heller serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Medical Logistics Command (N62645), supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain combat-ready medical forces through the acquisition of critical diagnostic, surgical, and life-sustaining equipment. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on electromedical devices, surgical instruments, and medical supply chain solutions, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical assets to global operational theaters. Her work directly enables point-of-care clinical capabilities, preventive medicine initiatives, and advanced battlefield diagnostics, aligning with the Command’s strategic priorities in medical logistics modernization and readiness assurance. Her contracting activities primarily engage merchant wholesalers and manufacturers specializing in medical equipment, with recurring partnerships among firms producing surgical instruments, electrotherapeutic apparatus, and diagnostic systems. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with robust quality assurance protocols, supply chain resilience, and compliance with military specifications. She routinely collaborates with vendors capable of supporting rapid deployment, cold chain logistics, and ruggedized field deployment requirements. Amanda’s contracting approach is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 94.7% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized, high-urgency nature of medical logistics needs. However, she maintains a consistent 5.3% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without compromising operational readiness or technical performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus lies in surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112), followed by medical equipment wholesale (423450) and electromedical apparatus manufacturing (334510). This specialization underscores her technical expertise in procuring precision medical devices, diagnostic tools, and integrated clinical systems that meet stringent DoD performance and interoperability requirements for austere environments.
