Darren G. Morris - Contracting Officer 304-623-3461 ext 4106

Darren G. Morris serves as a contracting professional within the Veterans Health Administration’s Network Contracting Office 5 (NCO5), where he manages the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and support services for VA medical centers and veteran-facing facilities. His portfolio focuses on ensuring operational readiness through the procurement of advanced medical devices, surgical instrumentation, and specialized environmental and transportation services essential to clinical delivery. Morris plays a pivotal role in aligning acquisition strategies with VA’s mission to sustain high-quality, patient-centered care through timely, compliant, and mission-driven contracting. He maintains enduring relationships with key vendors including JAN-CARE AMBULANCE OF RALEIGH COUNTY, INC., K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, PANAKEIA, LLC, and GUARDIAN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CO INC, reflecting a consistent reliance on specialized providers of ambulance services, medical equipment maintenance, and environmental compliance solutions. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and service excellence, particularly in domains requiring stringent healthcare and safety standards. Morris demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 24% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides, equally split between Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his deliberate inclusion of SDVOSB and small business contractors underscores a commitment to veteran-owned enterprise and workforce development within the VA’s supply chain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 811310 and 811210, reflecting deep expertise in the repair and maintenance of commercial/industrial and electronic medical equipment, alongside engineering services (541330) and professional training (611430). This technical specialization enables him to effectively manage complex acquisitions involving precision medical devices, clinical support systems, and facility infrastructure upgrades critical to modern VA healthcare delivery.
