Ashley Bell

Ashley Bell serves as a key procurement professional within the 247-NETWORK Contract Office 7 (36C247) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize clinical infrastructure critical to veteran healthcare delivery. Focused on medical equipment procurement and facility systems support, Bell oversees the lifecycle of contracts for surgical instruments, diagnostic devices, and precision maintenance services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific clinical standards. Their work directly enables the agency’s mission to deliver technologically advanced, safe, and accessible care environments across VA medical centers. Bell maintains established relationships with a core group of vendors including Birmingham Industrial Construction, LLC for facility upgrades, Excelsior Ambulance Service Inc for specialized transport systems, Transox Inc for diagnostic equipment, Vascular Radiology Associates II for imaging services, and Veterans Service Solutions LLC for veteran-focused healthcare support. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between established industry providers and mission-aligned service contractors, with consistent engagement across maintenance, installation, and clinical support categories. Procurement patterns show an even split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation without sacrificing technical capability. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on expanding vendor diversity and supporting veteran-owned enterprises. The office’s technical focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), with significant activity in ophthalmic goods (339115) and electronic equipment repair (811210). Bell’s expertise lies in procuring high-precision medical devices, clinical testing services, and specialized communications hardware, demonstrating deep familiarity with FDA-regulated equipment and biomedical maintenance protocols essential to VA’s clinical operations.
