Khaled M. Gohar

Khaled M. Gohar serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the medical laboratory services sector, ensuring alignment with federal health and diagnostic service requirements. His role centers on planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for clinical testing, specimen analysis, and laboratory infrastructure support, directly supporting the agency’s mission to deliver accurate, timely, and scalable diagnostic capabilities. He handles complex service-based procurements under full and open competition, emphasizing compliance with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Gohar’s contractor relationships are primarily with established medical laboratory service providers, including national and regional clinical diagnostics firms that offer CAP-accredited testing, molecular diagnostics, and pathology services. He engages with vendors possessing robust quality management systems, CLIA certifications, and scalable laboratory information systems. His procurement approach prioritizes vendors with proven operational reliability, data security protocols, and the capacity to meet high-volume, high-accuracy testing demands across distributed networks. Gohar’s contracting activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized in recent procurements. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and operational efficiency rather than socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business reporting requirements. His pattern indicates a preference for selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit, past performance, and service reliability, regardless of business size or certification status. His procurement expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 621511—Medical Laboratories—where he procures a range of diagnostic services including immunoassays, microbiology testing, genetic sequencing, and reference lab support. He specializes in acquiring high-complexity laboratory services that require stringent regulatory adherence, rapid turnaround times, and interoperability with clinical information systems. His domain knowledge encompasses laboratory accreditation standards, specimen handling protocols, and the integration of laboratory data into broader healthcare delivery frameworks.
