Crystal Perry

Crystal L. Perry serves as a Contract Specialist within the 246-NETWORK Contracting Office 6 (36C246) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain and modernize the clinical and operational infrastructure of Veterans Health Administration facilities. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration, with a primary focus on medical equipment, facility systems, and specialized support services essential to delivering high-quality veteran care. She specializes in complex acquisitions involving surgical instrumentation, environmental systems, and biomedical maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and VA-specific operational requirements. Perry maintains strategic relationships with key contractors including Cepheid, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc., Reliance Medical Transport, LLC, and Southeastern Industrial Barlovento JV-2, LLC, reflecting a consistent pattern of engagement with established providers of diagnostic technology, medical transport, and facility infrastructure solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor partnerships that align with VA’s standards for reliability, regulatory compliance, and clinical integration. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted under full and open competition—reflecting an 87.5% no set-aside rate—she actively supports socioeconomic goals by awarding 12.5% of contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, demonstrating a targeted commitment to veteran-led enterprise development. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong technical focus on NAICS codes 562111 (solid waste collection), 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), 238220 (plumbing and HVAC), 339112 (surgical instrument manufacturing), and 333310 (commercial machinery manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in procuring high-stakes, mission-critical equipment and services that directly impact patient safety and facility functionality.
