Danita E Webster

Danita Graham serves as a key procurement lead within the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17 (36C257) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages complex acquisitions critical to sustaining clinical operations at VA medical facilities. Her responsibilities center on securing advanced electromedical devices, in-vitro diagnostic systems, surgical instrumentation, and facility maintenance services that directly support veteran healthcare delivery. She navigates the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring alignment with VA’s mission of operational readiness and clinical excellence. Her portfolio emphasizes high-stakes, mission-critical equipment and infrastructure services requiring strict regulatory compliance and technical validation. Graham maintains enduring relationships with a select group of prime contractors including Primary Care Solutions Inc., Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, VetPride Services, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Cepheid. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large-capability vendors delivering specialized diagnostic and construction services and smaller entities capable of responsive, facility-specific support. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a preference for established performers with proven track records in healthcare environments, while consistently incorporating small business subcontracting requirements to ensure supply chain resilience. A defining feature of Graham’s procurement strategy is her strong emphasis on socioeconomic set-asides, with over half of her awards directed toward service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting VA’s statutory priority to empower veteran entrepreneurs. She also regularly utilizes total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to expanding veteran-owned and small business participation in federal healthcare procurement. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811420 (reupholstery and furniture repair) and 811219 (miscellaneous personal services), which support facility modernization and non-clinical infrastructure needs, alongside 561613 (armored car services) and 561621 (security systems), indicating a broad scope of operational support services. This unique blend of technical and logistical procurement expertise underscores her ability to manage both clinical and facility-based requirements essential to maintaining fully functional VA medical campuses.
