Jesse R. Tolliver

Jesse R. Tolliver serves as a key procurement lead within the Dha Enterprise Medical Support EMS-CD under the Defense Health Agency, where he oversees the acquisition of enterprise-level custom computer programming services critical to modernizing military health IT infrastructure. His role centers on securing secure, scalable, and interoperable software solutions that enhance clinical workflows, administrative efficiency, and data interoperability across DoD health systems. He manages the full lifecycle of complex IT contracts—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and Defense Health Agency priorities for operational readiness and cybersecurity compliance. Mr. Tolliver’s contracting patterns reflect a strategic focus on long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering mission-critical software development, system integration, and legacy modernization services. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, his procurement activity consistently engages firms with proven expertise in secure software engineering, cloud-native application development, and health information exchange standards such as HL7 and FHIR. His approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and vendor capability over price alone, fostering relationships with contractors who can meet stringent DoD cybersecurity and data governance requirements. Mr. Tolliver’s acquisition portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate emphasis on accessing the broadest possible talent pool to meet complex technical demands, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, he remains compliant with all federal small business goals and may include small business subcontracting requirements where operationally appropriate. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), underscoring deep expertise in bespoke software development for healthcare systems. He procures services including electronic health record customization, clinical decision support tools, data analytics platforms, and secure mobile health applications—all tailored to the unique operational environments of military medical treatment facilities.
