Judith S. Meynard

Judith S. Meynard serves as a Purchasing Agent/Contractor at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a critical role in securing advanced medical technologies essential to combat-ready healthcare operations. She manages the acquisition of electromedical, surgical, and therapeutic equipment to support high-acuity clinical environments, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical devices that enhance patient outcomes for service members, veterans, and their families. Her procurement portfolio spans complex medical hardware, precision instruments, and specialized maintenance services, requiring deep technical understanding of FDA-regulated and military-specification medical devices. Meynard collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of surgical instruments and electrotherapeutic apparatus, as well as repair and service providers maintaining clinical infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with both large-scale medical technology suppliers and certified small businesses, fostering competitive, performance-driven partnerships grounded in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation standards. Her approach emphasizes reliability, technical interoperability, and lifecycle support for high-stakes medical systems. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 73.9% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 21.7% of opportunities to total small business set-asides and 4.3% to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission readiness. Meynard’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334510 (electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus) and 339112/339113 (surgical instruments and supplies), with additional activity in medical equipment repair (811310) and translation services (541930) to support multilingual clinical teams. Her expertise centers on acquiring FDA-cleared, DoD-compliant medical devices and ensuring seamless integration into Walter Reed’s advanced surgical and diagnostic ecosystems.
