Erin Maddox

Erin Maddox serves as a secondary contracting professional within the Defense Health Agency, supporting the acquisition of critical medical and technical services essential to operational readiness. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in executing procurements that sustain clinical infrastructure, diagnostic capabilities, and biomedical maintenance across the Department of Defense’s global health network. Her responsibilities include managing solicitations, evaluating vendor proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for high-priority equipment and laboratory services. She routinely handles complex acquisitions involving precision medical devices, analytical instrumentation, and clinical support systems aligned with DHA’s mission to modernize healthcare delivery. Maddox maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche providers offering biomedical repair, laboratory diagnostics, health IT integration, and advanced medical equipment servicing. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for vendors with deep technical expertise in maintaining and calibrating sensitive clinical hardware, often requiring specialized certifications and compliance with military-grade standards. Her contracting activity shows a strong preference for open competition, with 89.3% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to expanding vendor diversity where technical requirements permit. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 811210 (electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance) and 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), underscoring expertise in sustaining high-value diagnostic and surgical equipment. She also procures research and development services in life sciences and testing laboratory support, indicating deep familiarity with the technical demands of military medical innovation and clinical quality assurance.
