Christina Heller

Christina Heller serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Sac Frederick (36C10X) designation, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support clinical infrastructure and operational readiness across VA facilities. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing primarily on professional services that enhance administrative efficiency and communications capabilities. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality healthcare services by ensuring timely access to essential consulting and outreach resources. Heller maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC, VETERANS HEALTHCARE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS, INC, Argent ARC LLC, PROMETHEUS FEDERAL SERVICES LLC, and AQUESTIVE THERAPEUTICS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep domain expertise in healthcare operations, clinical support services, and federal compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor evaluation, and long-term contract stewardship to ensure alignment with VA’s strategic objectives. Notably, Heller’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and value over socioeconomic classifications, while still ensuring robust competition among qualified vendors. Though she does not utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition regulations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) and 541810 (Advertising Agencies), with secondary emphasis on 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services). She routinely acquires strategic planning, operational optimization, and public communications services that support VA’s administrative modernization and veteran engagement initiatives, demonstrating strong expertise in non-clinical, mission-enabling professional services.
