Christina Lawrence

Christina Lawrence serves as a Contracting Specialist with the 249-NETWORK Contract Office 9 (36C249) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to modernize VA healthcare infrastructure and clinical capabilities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning facility maintenance, medical equipment procurement, and technical services essential to sustaining and upgrading veteran-facing medical facilities. Her work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, and diagnostic technologies, ensuring that VA medical centers remain compliant, safe, and technologically advanced for patient care. Lawrence maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, L1 Enterprises Incorporated, Adelphi Staffing, LLC, Firewatch Contracting of Florida LLC, and Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc. These partnerships reflect a blend of large-capability firms delivering complex infrastructure and technical services alongside specialized small businesses providing niche support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor reliability, and technical compliance across construction, facility operations, and medical technology domains. While the majority of her acquisitions—83.8%—are conducted without set-asides, Lawrence demonstrates a meaningful commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 10.0% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 6.3% under total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to integrate qualified veteran-owned and small business vendors into the VA’s supply chain without compromising mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), 541380 (Testing Laboratories), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). These reflect her specialization in procuring advanced medical diagnostics, facility maintenance systems, and laboratory-grade equipment critical to VA’s clinical operations and infrastructure resilience.
