Amanda Patterson-Elliott

Amanda Patterson-Elliott serves as a Contract Specialist with Network Contract Office 23 (36C263) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to support VA healthcare delivery nationwide. She manages the full lifecycle of procurements for medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s goal of equipping VA medical centers with advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and operational technologies. Her portfolio includes complex solicitations requiring technical evaluation, risk mitigation, and performance-based contracting strategies to guarantee readiness and clinical safety across the VA healthcare system. Patterson-Elliott maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including BZ Construction and Development LLC, Highlands Enterprises LLC, Pedersen & Rangel, Exelan Pharmaceuticals Inc., and L1 Enterprises Incorporated. These partnerships span construction, pharmaceutical supply, and precision equipment maintenance, reflecting a balanced approach to both infrastructure and clinical procurement. She fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships grounded in accountability, timely delivery, and adherence to quality standards essential for healthcare environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on socioeconomic goals, with nearly one-third of awards directed toward small business set-asides—particularly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) at 15.3% and Total Small Business Set-Asides at 16.9%. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her consistent prioritization of SDVOSB and small business participation underscores a strategic commitment to veteran-owned enterprise and economic inclusion. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS categories including 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 811210 (electronic and precision equipment repair), and 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing). She specializes in procuring high-reliability medical instrumentation, facility systems, and clinical support technologies, demonstrating deep familiarity with the regulatory and operational demands of healthcare infrastructure procurement.
