Jennifer Duron

Jennifer Duron serves as a Contract Specialist within the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 (36C261) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements that sustain and modernize VA medical infrastructure and clinical capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized medical equipment, surgical supplies, laboratory instruments, and facility maintenance services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical delivery of care to veterans. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to enhance diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Duron maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Integrated Trans Joint Venture LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large prime contractors delivering advanced medical technology and facility services alongside specialized firms providing niche technical and operational support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous vendor accountability to ensure reliability and compliance across high-stakes healthcare environments. While the majority of her acquisitions—82.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Duron demonstrates a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with notable participation from Total Small Business Set-Asides (11.8%) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Asides (5.9%). This pattern reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes mission readiness while actively fostering opportunities for qualified small and veteran-owned businesses in alignment with VA’s broader inclusion goals. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), reflecting deep expertise in medical device servicing and calibration; 561720 (Janitorial Services) for facility hygiene standards; and 541810 and 516210, indicating growing involvement in digital health communications and media infrastructure. She also manages specialized procurements under 325199, underscoring her technical fluency in supporting clinical laboratory chemical supply chains.
