Audrey Brown

Audrey Brown serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs, operating under the Sac Frederick (36C10X) designation, where she manages mission-critical acquisitions to support clinical infrastructure and operational readiness at VA facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting actions for technology-enabled healthcare services, including computing infrastructure, data processing systems, and administrative management consulting. She ensures alignment with VA’s strategic priorities to modernize clinical care delivery through secure, scalable digital solutions and integrated support services, frequently overseeing complex solicitations under FAR and VA-specific acquisition regulations. Brown maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC, VETERANS HEALTHCARE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS, INC, Argent ARC LLC, PROMETHEUS FEDERAL SERVICES LLC, and AQUESTIVE THERAPEUTICS, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized medical logistics, federal healthcare IT integration, and therapeutic supply chain support. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven experience in federal healthcare environments and robust quality assurance protocols. Brown’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market access and leveraging broad industry capabilities to meet urgent operational demands, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, she evaluates all offerors based on technical merit, past performance, and capacity to deliver mission-critical services at scale. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 518210 (computing infrastructure and data hosting services) and NAICS 541519 (other computer-related services), with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 541611 (management consulting). She routinely acquires cloud-based health information systems, cybersecurity-enabled data platforms, and operational efficiency consulting services that directly support VA’s digital transformation and clinical workflow modernization initiatives.
