Dawn Atterbury serves as a Senior Contracting Officer within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code: 36C776), where she leads the acquisition of critical information technology and management consulting services to support the modernization of veteran healthcare infrastructure. Her role centers on procuring solutions that enhance digital health systems, facility operations, and administrative efficiency across VA medical centers nationwide. She manages full lifecycle contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on complex service-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal IT modernization priorities. Atterbury maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in healthcare IT integration, facility systems consulting, and mission-critical administrative support. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor performance evaluations to ensure alignment with VA’s operational goals. Her contracting portfolio exhibits a strong inclination toward service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for nearly 29% of her awards, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively leverages socioeconomic programs to foster equitable access and enhance vendor diversity within the VA supply chain. The bulk of her procurements fall under NAICS 519290, reflecting a primary focus on web-based information services, digital portals, and data management platforms essential to EHR modernization and patient access systems. A smaller but significant portion aligns with NAICS 541611, indicating expertise in procuring high-level management consulting services to optimize facility operations and administrative workflows. Her technical domain centers on interoperable health IT systems and operational efficiency solutions critical to delivering seamless veteran care.
