Donna Ducheneaux

Donna Ducheneaux serves as a key procurement lead within the Great Plains Area Indian Health Service, overseeing acquisitions that directly support clinical delivery and operational resilience in remote Native communities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to provide culturally competent, sustainable healthcare, with a focus on medical equipment, diagnostic infrastructure, and facility modernization. Her work ensures that critical resources reach underserved facilities while adhering to federal procurement regulations and tribal sovereignty principles. Ducheneaux routinely handles competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and service continuity in low-resource environments. She maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including DT-TRAK CONSULTING, INC., ANDERS GROUP LLC, WAREBROOK HEALTH, LLC, LACREEK DEVELOPMENT CORP, and METRO MEDICAL EQUIPMENT & SUPPLY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in tribal healthcare settings, medical logistics, and culturally responsive service delivery. Ducheneaux fosters long-term vendor engagement through clear performance metrics and collaborative contract administration, ensuring accountability and alignment with tribal health priorities. A hallmark of her procurement strategy is a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with 75% of her awards designated for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) set-asides—reflecting the agency’s statutory mandate to prioritize Native-owned enterprises. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to build economic capacity within tribal communities while ensuring high-quality, locally informed service provision. The remaining 25% of contracts are awarded without set-aside, typically for specialized services requiring unique technical qualifications. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 337214 (Office Furniture) and 621512 (Diagnostic Imaging Centers), indicating a dual emphasis on both clinical infrastructure and patient care environments. She procures medical imaging systems, diagnostic tools, and facility furnishings tailored to the operational needs of rural health clinics, demonstrating deep expertise in healthcare facility modernization and equipment lifecycle management within federally recognized tribal settings.
