Chrystal M Pierce

Chrystal M. Pierce serves as a Contracts Analyst for the Defense Health Agency (DHA), supporting the procurement of critical healthcare and operational services across the Department of Defense’s global medical footprint. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition lifecycle for complex medical, technical, and logistical contracts, ensuring alignment with DHA’s mission to sustain operational readiness through integrated clinical support and secure health infrastructure. Her responsibilities include analyzing solicitation requirements, evaluating vendor proposals, and ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD acquisition regulations. She primarily handles acquisitions related to pharmaceuticals, diagnostic equipment, health IT systems, and clinical support services, bridging technical needs with contracting policy to deliver mission-critical capabilities. Pierce maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized medical technology, pharmaceutical manufacturing, data management, and clinical logistics services. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in regulated healthcare environments, often engaging firms with expertise in FDA-compliant processes, secure health data handling, and military-grade equipment maintenance. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 88.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the technical specificity and mission-critical nature of DHA’s requirements. However, she consistently allocates 11.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation where market conditions permit. Pierce’s primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers) for health information systems, 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing) for medical supply chain integrity, 621498 (Other Outpatient Care Centers) for clinical service support, 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) for process optimization, and 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving) for medical equipment relocation. Her expertise lies at the intersection of clinical operations and defense logistics, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent regulatory and readiness standards.
