Joshua I. Imdacha serves as a Senior Contracting Officer for Network Contract Office 23 (36C263) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he leads the acquisition of critical medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility infrastructure essential to VA healthcare delivery nationwide. His portfolio encompasses complex procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, including sealed bids, negotiated contracts, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. He ensures alignment with VA’s strategic objectives to modernize clinical capabilities and maintain safe, high-functioning healthcare environments for veterans, with a focus on electromedical devices, surgical instruments, and precision diagnostic technologies. Mr. Imdacha maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including Abbott Laboratories Inc., BZ Construction and Development LLC, Highlands Enterprises LLC, Primary Care Solutions Inc., and Pedersen & Rangel. These partnerships span medical device manufacturing, facility construction, and clinical support services, reflecting a balanced approach between large-capability prime contractors and specialized small business subcontractors. His procurement patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle support, ensuring sustained operational readiness across VA medical centers. His contracting approach reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with over 37% of awards directed toward small business set-asides, including 13.7% specifically reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, he actively prioritizes SDVOSB and Total Small Business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand veteran-owned enterprise participation in VA’s supply chain. Mr. Imdacha’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334510 (Electromedical Apparatus Manufacturing), and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with additional focus on 621111 (Physician Offices) and 811210 (Equipment Repair).
