Judy Eaves

Judy Eaves serves as a Contracting Officer within the Indian Health Service, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance the agency’s mission of delivering culturally competent health care to American Indian and Alaska Native communities. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning clinical services, medical infrastructure, and professional technical support, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and tribal sovereignty principles. Her work directly supports the delivery of primary care, diagnostic services, and facility maintenance in underserved tribal areas, aligning procurement strategy with public health outcomes and tribal self-determination. Eaves maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including McKesson Corporation, Flintco, LLC, The Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc., Tribal Health, LLC, and the Central Oklahoma American Indian Health Council, Inc. These partnerships reflect a blend of large-scale healthcare logistics providers, construction and facility management firms, and tribally owned or Native-serving organizations. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with vendors who demonstrate cultural competency and experience serving tribal populations, fostering sustainable, community-centered service delivery. Her procurement patterns reveal a strong preference for open competition, with 78.2% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs specific to Indian Health Service, including the Buy Indian Act (10.3%) and Indian Economic Enterprise set-asides (2.6%), alongside a notable commitment to small business participation (9.0% total small business set-asides). These practices reflect a deliberate effort to advance economic opportunity within tribal economies while ensuring compliance with federal statutes. Eaves specializes in NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians) and 621399 (Miscellaneous Health Practitioners), reflecting her focus on outpatient clinical services and allied health care delivery. She also procures professional technical services under 541990 and ambulatory care infrastructure under 621493, demonstrating deep expertise in health care operations, provider staffing, and community-based medical support systems tailored to tribal health needs.
