Helen Wesley

Helen Wesley serves as a key procurement lead within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), supporting the agency’s mission to expand equitable access to primary care for underserved populations. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on professional, scientific, and technical services critical to strengthening the national health safety net. Her work centers on contracting for program oversight, health system modernization, and operational support services that enhance the accreditation, certification, and performance of ambulatory health centers and community-based care networks. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts requiring rigorous compliance with federal healthcare standards and quality metrics. Wesley maintains sustained relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including General Dynamics Information Technology, ReI Systems, OptumServe Technology Services, Keystone Peer Review Organization, and CyberData Technologies. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in health IT infrastructure, data analytics, peer review systems, and clinical operations support. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, mission-aligned collaborations with firms capable of delivering scalable, compliant solutions across multiple federal health programs. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, approximately 30% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity for small businesses. She consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that support small business growth without relying on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, favoring broad-based small business participation across technical domains. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 541990, encompassing a wide array of professional services including health systems consulting, performance evaluation, and data management. She also regularly procures translation and interpretation services, pharmacy benefit administration, and event coordination to support outreach and training initiatives. This technical profile underscores her expertise in enabling workforce development, patient access, and operational efficiency within federally funded health delivery systems.
