Lance D. Fleming

Lance D. Fleming serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Medical Center San Diego (N00259), where he plays a critical role in executing acquisitions that support the facility’s mission of sustaining combat-ready medical forces. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized electromedical, surgical, and diagnostic equipment, ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and operational readiness requirements. His work directly enables the delivery of advanced clinical care to active-duty personnel, veterans, and their families by securing mission-critical technologies that enhance surgical precision, diagnostic accuracy, and rehabilitative outcomes. Fleming collaborates with a diverse array of vendors specializing in medical device maintenance, calibration, and technical service support, primarily engaging with firms offering certified biomedical engineering services and OEM-authorized repair networks. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for qualified service providers with demonstrated expertise in Navy-standard equipment, including manufacturers and third-party technicians certified under military technical specifications. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost efficiency. Fleming’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s operational urgency and technical specificity, where qualified vendors must meet stringent DoD certification and equipment compatibility standards, limiting the applicability of socioeconomic set-asides despite broader DoD initiatives. His primary focus is NAICS 811219—Medical and Diagnostic Laboratory and Equipment Repair and Maintenance—where he procures services for the calibration, repair, and preventive maintenance of electromedical systems including patient monitors, surgical lasers, imaging subsystems, and laboratory analyzers. His technical expertise lies in ensuring the operational integrity of mission-critical medical hardware through contractually enforced service level agreements and compliance with FDA and military technical directives.
