Grace Steier

Grace Steier serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Health Agency, supporting the agency’s mission to ensure operational readiness through the acquisition of critical pharmaceutical and medical infrastructure. She manages a specialized portfolio focused on the manufacturing and distribution of standardized pharmaceutical preparations, ensuring compliance with DoD clinical standards and supply chain resilience. Her acquisitions directly enable the delivery of consistent, high-quality care to service members, retirees, and their families across global military medical facilities. Steier’s work centers on end-to-end contract lifecycle management for mission-critical drug formulations, including sterile injectables, prophylactic agents, and therapeutic compounds essential to force health protection. She maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc., each of which provides niche capabilities in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech processing, or medical device integration. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven, technically capable suppliers with demonstrated expertise in cGMP-compliant production and secure logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and supply chain continuity over competitive bidding alone. Steier’s procurement activity is entirely unreserved, with 100% of awards issued under open competition without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the pharmaceutical products she acquires, where technical qualifications and manufacturing certifications often outweigh socioeconomic preferences in ensuring mission success. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 325412—Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing—where she procures sterile, pre-packaged, and clinically validated drug products for military treatment facilities. Her domain expertise includes cold-chain logistics, controlled-substance compliance, and FDA-regulated production systems, positioning her at the intersection of defense medicine and advanced pharmaceutical supply chain management.
