Cheryl Vendemia

Cheryl Vendemia serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Medical Logistics Command, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain combat-ready medical forces through strategic acquisition of life-critical medical systems. She manages the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for high-priority medical logistics requirements, including diagnostic equipment, point-of-care testing devices, sterile supply chains, and field-deployable clinical systems. Her work directly enables the readiness of Navy and Marine Corps medical units across global operational theaters, ensuring timely delivery of mission-essential supplies under austere conditions. Vendemia specializes in complex, time-sensitive acquisitions requiring rigorous compliance with military specifications and supply chain resilience standards. Her contractor relationships are built on long-term partnerships with defense medical suppliers, OEMs of military-grade diagnostic hardware, and logistics providers certified for rapid global distribution. She collaborates with vendors capable of meeting stringent DoD quality assurance protocols, including those certified under ISO 13485 and FDA regulations. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her pattern reflects a preference for established defense medical contractors with proven track records in field deployment, reverse logistics, and just-in-time inventory support. Vendemia’s procurement activity is exclusively classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on open competition to ensure maximum capability, scalability, and supply chain redundancy. This reflects the operational urgency and technical specificity of medical logistics requirements, where broad competition is prioritized over socioeconomic set-asides to guarantee mission-critical readiness. Her primary procurement focus centers on medical equipment and supplies within the NAICS categories related to medical device manufacturing, diagnostic instrument procurement, and military medical logistics services. She routinely acquires advanced clinical diagnostics, portable ultrasound systems, battlefield trauma care kits, and automated pharmaceutical dispensing units, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of military medicine, biomedical engineering, and expeditionary healthcare logistics.
