Charee Harris serves as a Contract Specialist for the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 (36C261) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to modernize VA medical infrastructure and clinical capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions spanning construction, engineering services, and specialized medical equipment, ensuring alignment with VA’s mandate to deliver high-quality, accessible care to veterans. Her work directly supports the maintenance and enhancement of physical facilities and diagnostic systems essential to veteran healthcare delivery, with a strong emphasis on compliance, risk mitigation, and timely contract execution under FAR and VA-specific acquisition guidelines. Charee maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Integrated Trans Joint Venture LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large prime contractors delivering advanced medical technology and construction services, alongside specialized firms capable of supporting complex, integrated healthcare infrastructure projects. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and rigorous vendor accountability to ensure operational readiness across VA medical centers. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 65% of her awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting a deep institutional alignment with VA’s veteran-centric mission. While the majority of her contracts prioritize SDVOSB set-asides, she also manages a significant volume of unrestricted procurements, balancing small business participation with the need for specialized technical capabilities only available through larger industry partners.
