Deborah Hagan

Deborah Hagan serves as a key procurement professional within the Army Medical Resources Acquisition Activity under the Defense Health Agency, where she oversees the acquisition of advanced biomedical research tools, diagnostic instrumentation, and clinical technology critical to military medical readiness. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to sustain cutting-edge laboratory infrastructure and analytical capabilities for U.S. Army personnel, focusing on high-performance scientific equipment and life sciences innovation. She manages complex contracts spanning research and development, instrument manufacturing, and specialized maintenance services, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for technical performance and operational reliability. Hagan maintains enduring relationships with a select group of industry partners, including CHENEGA Professional & Technical Services LLC, SNA International LLC, MABEAL GmbH, Canon Medical Informatics Inc., and The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. These collaborations reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in biomedical engineering, diagnostic systems, and military-specific research support. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical capability, compliance, and mission alignment rather than transactional engagements. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 95.5% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is limited to 4.5% of awards, it is primarily channeled through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a measured but deliberate inclusion of qualified small entities when technical requirements permit. Hagan’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), followed by 541714 (Biotechnology R&D) and 334515 (Electrical Signal Measurement Instrumentation). She regularly procures mass spectrometers, clinical analyzers, lab automation systems, and specialized biomedical software platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in life sciences instrumentation and the technical infrastructure required for military medical research and diagnostics.
