Hanika Torio

Hanika Torio serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), where she plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the operational readiness of uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for clinical and support services, ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD-specific regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses ambulatory healthcare services, diagnostic equipment maintenance, and facilities support solutions aligned with the DHA’s strategic priorities in modernizing clinical workflows and securing medical supply chains. Torio maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors 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 specialized medical support services, biomedical equipment maintenance, and secure health data infrastructure solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for established contractors with proven track records in delivering mission-essential healthcare enablers across global DOD installations. Her set-aside preferences reveal a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs: while the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she actively utilizes Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate effort to foster competition and expand opportunities for certified small disadvantaged businesses. This reflects a strategic alignment with DOD’s broader goals to enhance vendor diversity without compromising mission requirements. Torio’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians), 621999 (Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services), and 621498 (Outpatient Care Centers), with additional emphasis on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services). She routinely procures clinical support services, outpatient care infrastructure, medical waste management, and biomedical equipment maintenance—domains requiring technical expertise in healthcare compliance, regulatory standards, and operational continuity under austere conditions.
