Kacie Burris

Kacie Burris serves as a key procurement professional within the W40M MRC0 West agency under the Department of the Army, supporting the mission to sustain and advance medical readiness for deployed forces. She manages the acquisition of critical diagnostic, therapeutic, and laboratory support capabilities essential to field-ready, high-acuity medical operations. Her portfolio encompasses in-vitro diagnostic substances, surgical instruments, sterilization systems, and blood management solutions, ensuring operational sovereignty in austere environments. Burris navigates complex technical requirements to secure mission-critical medical technologies that meet military standards for reliability, portability, and rapid deployment. Her primary contractor relationships include Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Cardinal Health 414, LLC, and Surgical Neuromonitoring Associates, Inc., reflecting a reliance on established medical technology and supply chain leaders. She also engages specialized vendors such as KJ Trauma Consulting LLC and Premier Shockwave, Inc., indicating a strategic balance between large-scale commercial providers and niche service firms offering trauma response and interventional technologies. Burris fosters long-term, performance-based partnerships that prioritize technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and rapid contract execution under time-sensitive operational demands. Burris exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals an active effort to broaden vendor diversity and enhance innovation through non-traditional suppliers. Her procurement focus centers on three core NAICS categories: 811210 for precision equipment repair and maintenance, 423450 for medical equipment wholesale distribution, and 541930 for translation and interpretation services—reflecting the agency’s need for technical sustainment, supply chain logistics, and linguistic support in multilingual operational theaters. This triad underscores her expertise in integrating clinical, logistical, and human factors into comprehensive medical readiness solutions.
