Andrea Buckley

Andrea Buckley serves as a key procurement professional within the 244-NETWORK Contract Office 4 (36C244) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages complex acquisitions to modernize clinical infrastructure and support veteran healthcare delivery. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility-related systems critical to VA medical centers and outpatient clinics. She specializes in technical procurements aligned with the VA’s mission to enhance diagnostic accuracy, clinical efficiency, and patient safety through advanced electromedical and surgical technologies, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. Buckley maintains strategic relationships with a diverse set of contractors, including EXELAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC for specialized pharmaceutical logistics, RLS CONSTRUCTION GROUP, LLC for facility upgrades, TRANS-MED AMBULANCE INC. for emergency medical transport systems, HAMHED LLC for medical supply distribution, and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC for analytical support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration, fostering partnerships that align with VA’s operational needs and quality standards. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including a notable 15.2% preference for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate effort to empower veteran entrepreneurs and expand economic opportunity within the VA’s supply chain while maintaining competitive rigor. Buckley’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing) and 339112 (surgical and medical instrument manufacturing), with significant activity in 333415 (heating and refrigeration equipment) and 334510 (electromedical apparatus).
