Jack R Diemer

Jack R. Diemer serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical healthcare support services essential to operational readiness. He plays a pivotal role in executing procurements aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver integrated medical support to uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. His portfolio primarily encompasses direct health insurance administration and pharmacy benefit management contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DOD health system standards. Diemer specializes in complex, performance-based acquisitions that require rigorous evaluation of clinical outcomes, data security, and supply chain resilience. Diemer maintains consistent working relationships with key 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 specialized medical support services, including clinical documentation management, bioscience logistics, diagnostic technology procurement, and health IT infrastructure. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical service continuity, fostering long-term collaborations with firms capable of meeting stringent DOD healthcare requirements. Diemer’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for open, unrestricted competitions with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This indicates a strategic emphasis on sourcing the most qualified vendors based on technical merit and mission alignment rather than socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the DHA’s priority for scale, capability, and operational readiness in high-stakes healthcare environments. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 524114 (Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers), accounting for 90% of his activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 524292 (Pharmacy Benefit Management). He routinely acquires services related to claims adjudication, provider network management, formulary administration, and health data interoperability platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical and regulatory frameworks governing military healthcare financing and pharmaceutical logistics.
