Cheryl Janus

Cheryl Janus serves as a MMESO West Clinical Analyst, providing critical clinical and operational support to procurement initiatives within the Department of Defense’s medical equipment and supply acquisition framework. In this role, she evaluates clinical requirements, aligns technical specifications with operational needs, and collaborates with contracting officers to ensure acquisitions meet military healthcare standards. Her work bridges clinical expertise and procurement execution, ensuring that medical devices and supplies are selected based on safety, efficacy, and interoperability. She primarily supports complex acquisitions involving surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and medical supply chains, often engaging early in the requirements development phase to inform source selection criteria and performance metrics. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Cheryl routinely engages with manufacturers and wholesale distributors specializing in clinical-grade medical products. Her procurement patterns suggest close collaboration with vendors possessing FDA clearance, ISO 13485 certification, and robust supply chain traceability. She favors suppliers with demonstrated compliance with military specifications and the ability to support just-in-time logistics in austere environments. Cheryl’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her procurements classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and performance-based outcomes rather than socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, ensuring the highest quality medical solutions are procured without artificial constraints. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in surgical tools, disposable medical devices, and sterile supply systems. She also regularly procures through NAICS 423450 (Medical Equipment Wholesalers), indicating frequent reliance on specialized distributors for rapid deployment of consumables. Her domain expertise centers on perioperative, diagnostic, and point-of-care technologies critical to field and hospital-based military medical operations.
