Brooke Hansen

Brooke Hansen serves as the primary contracting lead for the 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10 (36C250) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where they oversee the acquisition of precision electromedical and analytical laboratory instrumentation critical to veteran healthcare delivery. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—Hansen ensures that clinical facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical systems aligned with VA’s mission to deliver world-class care. Their acquisitions focus on high-complexity, regulated medical devices requiring stringent compliance with FDA and ISO standards, often involving technical evaluations, performance-based specifications, and post-award surveillance. Hansen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors including WSSA LLC, MGI, INC., and INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE AND BUS SERVICES LLC, all of which provide niche expertise in medical equipment distribution, calibration, and facility support systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance, technical responsiveness, and adherence to federal acquisition regulations. While the majority of awards are awarded through full and open competition, the relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in servicing VA’s unique clinical environments and regulatory frameworks. Hansen’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside approach, indicating a strategic focus on technical merit and performance capability over socioeconomic preferences. This pattern suggests an emphasis on mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise and regulatory compliance outweigh socioeconomic targeting criteria, resulting in a competitive landscape dominated by firms with demonstrated technical proficiency rather than socioeconomic certification. The office’s exclusive focus on NAICS 334516—Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing—highlights a deep specialization in procuring advanced diagnostic and laboratory equipment, including mass spectrometers, hematology analyzers, and clinical chemistry systems. This technical domain requires intimate familiarity with biomedical engineering standards, calibration protocols, and lifecycle maintenance requirements, positioning Hansen as a subject matter expert in high-precision medical instrumentation procurement for clinical and research settings within the VA healthcare system.
