David S Rupert

David Rupert serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Sac Frederick (36C10X) office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that support clinical infrastructure and operational readiness across VA medical facilities. His work centers on securing professional services and technical solutions critical to modernizing veteran healthcare delivery, with a focus on training, IT systems, and administrative support. He routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR and VA-specific acquisition guidelines, ensuring compliance with federal mandates while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic modernization goals. Rupert maintains consistent contracting relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC, VETERANS HEALTHCARE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS, INC, Argent ARC LLC, PROMETHEUS FEDERAL SERVICES LLC, and AQUESTIVE THERAPEUTICS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for contractors with deep expertise in healthcare logistics, clinical IT services, and pharmaceutical supply chain support. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure continuity of care and operational resilience. While the majority of his acquisitions—94.4%—are conducted without set-asides, he demonstrates targeted support for socioeconomic programs, with 5.6% of awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This reflects a deliberate, though selective, commitment to advancing veteran-owned enterprise participation within VA’s broader procurement ecosystem. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (professional and management development training), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 541519 (other computer-related services), underscoring expertise in workforce development, health IT systems, and technical consulting. He frequently procures software integration, clinical workflow automation, and administrative management services that enhance the efficiency and scalability of VA’s national healthcare delivery network.
