Kimberly Y McKinney

Kimberly McKinney serves as a key procurement professional within the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 (36C261) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize clinical infrastructure at VA medical facilities. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of specialized medical equipment, surgical supplies, and laboratory instrumentation critical to diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services. She plays a vital role in ensuring VA facilities are equipped with FDA-cleared, clinically validated devices that meet stringent healthcare standards, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality, accessible care to veterans through reliable, technologically advanced medical systems. McKinney maintains established relationships with leading suppliers including Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Integrated Trans Joint Venture LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large-capacity manufacturers of medical devices and integrated service providers capable of delivering turnkey solutions for clinical environments. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term service support, often requiring rigorous validation and calibration protocols for sensitive instrumentation. While the majority of her acquisitions—78.6%—are conducted without set-asides, McKinney consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 14.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides and 7.1% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate alignment with VA’s socioeconomic goals, fostering vendor diversity while maintaining procurement integrity. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), and 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), demonstrating deep familiarity with Class II and III medical devices, point-of-care diagnostics, and electrotherapeutic systems. She routinely procures FDA-regulated equipment requiring 510(k) clearance or PMA pathways, underscoring her proficiency in navigating regulatory and clinical procurement frameworks.
