Catherine Kennedy

Catherine Kennedy serves as a procurement professional within the Department of Veterans Affairs. In this role, she supports the agency's mission by managing acquisitions and overseeing the procurement of essential services and supplies necessary for veteran care and operational support. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns indicate a primary reliance on full and open competitions, which account for the majority of activity. However, there is a notable commitment to socioeconomic goals, specifically through Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, as well as general small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her industry focus is heavily concentrated in healthcare and social assistance services. The primary area of expertise involves the procurement of Nursing Care Facilities (NAICS 623110), followed by the acquisition of services from offices of physicians and other individual and family services. Additionally, her procurement activity extends to operational support services, including telephone answering services and hazardous waste collection.
