Kelly L Mann

Kelly L. Mann serves as a Contract Specialist within the National CMOP Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in securing the domestic production and distribution of mission-critical pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring supply chain resilience through sovereign manufacturing capabilities, managing full lifecycle contracts for pharmaceutical preparation, diagnostic substances, and associated packaging materials. As the primary contracting lead, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic imperative to reduce foreign dependency on essential medical products. Mann maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including All In Solutions LLC, Ansible Government Solutions LLC, and Innovation Associates, Inc., each of which provides technical expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing, logistics, and regulatory compliance. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in quality assurance, GMP adherence, and supply chain transparency, fostering collaboration with firms capable of meeting stringent federal pharmaceutical standards. She demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable emphasis on service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting the VA’s mission-driven values. Her contracting patterns prioritize small business participation as a core component of national security and veteran care. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS codes 325412 (pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing) and 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing), with additional focus on packaging and ancillary materials under 322211 and 322230. She routinely procures sterile injectables, radiopharmaceuticals, diagnostic reagents, and secure packaging systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with cGMP environments, FDA regulatory frameworks, and controlled substance handling protocols essential to veteran healthcare readiness.
