Kathy Simpson

Kathy Simpson supports the Defense Health Agency’s mission by managing critical procurement activities that ensure operational readiness through essential support services. Though her formal title is not listed, her role centers on acquiring logistics, facility, and clinical support solutions vital to the DHA’s global healthcare delivery network. She handles a diverse portfolio of non-clinical, mission-enabling contracts, with a strong emphasis on courier services and facility maintenance operations that sustain the daily function of military medical facilities worldwide. Her acquisitions directly enable the secure transport of medical supplies, confidential records, and equipment, aligning with the agency’s priorities in clinical workflow modernization and supply chain resilience. Simpson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on specialized service providers offering document destruction, bioscience logistics, technology integration, and medical equipment support. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for vendors with niche expertise in secure handling, compliance-driven operations, and rapid-response capabilities tailored to DoD health environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster small business participation while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical requirements. She consistently leverages small business capabilities in service sectors where agility and compliance are paramount. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services) and 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), indicating deep specialization in secure logistics and facility hygiene services critical to military medical readiness. These acquisitions support the safe transport of sensitive materials and the maintenance of sterile environments across DoD healthcare installations.
