Kristina L Gandy Contract Specialist

Kristina L. Gandy serves as a Contract Specialist within the 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10 (36C250) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that sustain and modernize VA healthcare infrastructure. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for critical medical equipment, facility support systems, and technical services essential to veteran care delivery. Her acquisitions focus on ensuring clinical environments are equipped with precision electromedical devices, diagnostic systems, and home health equipment, aligning with the VA’s mission to provide high-quality, accessible healthcare through reliable and efficient procurement practices. Gandy maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including WSSA LLC, Ohio Ambulance Solutions, LLC, Integrated Maintenance and Bus Services LLC, MGI, Inc., and Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering specialized medical logistics, facility maintenance, and clinical support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service reliability, and technical compliance, fostering collaborative vendor relationships grounded in regulatory adherence and mission alignment. Gandy’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, her acquisitions still engage a diverse range of vendors based on technical capability, past performance, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary NAICS focus areas—532283 (Home Health Equipment Rental), 561990 (All Other Support Services), and 621511 (Medical Laboratories)—demonstrate deep expertise in procuring durable medical equipment, facility operations support, and diagnostic laboratory services. She specializes in complex acquisitions requiring compliance with FDA, CMS, and Joint Commission standards, ensuring that all procured systems meet the rigorous demands of clinical care environments serving veterans.
