Cynthia Lattimore

Cynthia Lattimore serves as a key procurement professional within the W40M USA HCA, a critical component of the Department of the Army’s medical readiness infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of advanced clinical and diagnostic systems essential to sustaining battlefield and garrison healthcare operations. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of medical laboratory equipment, surgical instrumentation, and diagnostic radiation physics services, ensuring that combat medics and military medical facilities are equipped with mission-critical technologies. Lattimore’s work directly supports the agency’s mandate to maintain operational health readiness through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions. She maintains enduring relationships with leading medical technology providers, including QuidelOrtho Sales Company, LLC, Steris Corporation, MDM Technologies, LLC, Sysmex America, Inc., and LBT Diagnostic Radiation Physics Consulting Ltd. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on high-reliability suppliers capable of delivering FDA-cleared, military-spec compliant diagnostic and sterilization systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service agreements and technical validation, ensuring that procured equipment meets rigorous military medical standards for durability, calibration, and field operability. Lattimore’s procurement portfolio is evenly split between open competition and 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a balanced yet deliberate commitment to small business participation. She actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate capable minority-owned and socially disadvantaged firms in the medical diagnostics and clinical support space, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals without compromising technical rigor or supply chain resilience. Her primary focus lies exclusively within NAICS 621511—Medical Laboratories—where she procures automated hematology analyzers, immunoassay systems, sterilization equipment, and radiation safety calibration services. This deep specialization reflects her expertise in clinical laboratory operations and diagnostic technology integration, ensuring that Army medical units maintain accreditation-ready, high-throughput laboratory capabilities essential to force health protection.
