Jonathan W. Lind

Jonathan W. Lind serves as a Contracting Officer within the DHA Enterprise Medical Support (EMS-CD) under the Defense Health Agency, where he leads the acquisition of enterprise-level health IT solutions critical to modernizing military medical operations. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DHA’s mission to deliver secure, scalable, and interoperable health systems. His portfolio primarily encompasses software development, systems integration, and clinical data infrastructure, supporting the transition to digital health platforms that enhance operational readiness and provider efficiency across the DoD. Lind cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in health IT and medical technology, including firms with deep expertise in clinical workflow automation, data analytics, and secure cloud-based platforms. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages with both large prime contractors and niche technology providers capable of delivering complex, mission-critical solutions under strict DoD cybersecurity and interoperability standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and vendor accountability to ensure sustained system reliability. Lind’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective solutions regardless of vendor size or socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission need over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he remains compliant with all statutory requirements and evaluates small business capabilities where they align with technical requirements. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting his specialization in custom health IT development, systems integration, and enterprise software support. He also procures medical equipment distribution services under NAICS 423450, ensuring seamless supply chain integration for clinical environments. His expertise centers on securing digital health infrastructure that supports real-time data exchange, EHR modernization, and secure telehealth capabilities across military treatment facilities.
