Anne E. Hand

Anne E. Hand serves as a key procurement lead within the 247-NETWORK Contract Office 7 (36C247) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for facility systems, medical equipment maintenance, and waste management services that ensure the continued functionality and compliance of VA medical campuses. She operates within a mission-critical environment, ensuring that procurement actions align with federal regulations and VA strategic goals to modernize clinical environments and sustain safe, accessible care settings. Hand maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including BIRMINGHAM INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION, LLC, EXCELSIOR AMBULANCE SERVICE INC, TRANSOX INC, VASCULAR RADIOLOGY ASSOCIATES II, and Veterans Service Solutions LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized vendors capable of delivering technical, compliance-driven services—from medical waste handling to facility maintenance and emergency transport support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear deliverables and quality assurance protocols. Hand’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern suggests an operational emphasis on technical capability and service continuity over socioeconomic targeting, with awards awarded based on merit, capacity, and compliance with federal acquisition standards. Her primary NAICS focus is 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), reflecting deep expertise in environmental health services and medical waste management for healthcare facilities. She procures specialized collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal services that meet stringent CDC and OSHA guidelines, ensuring VA facilities remain compliant with federal environmental and public health mandates. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare operations and environmental compliance, making her a critical steward of safe, sustainable infrastructure across the VA system.
