Lara Dolin

Lara Dolin serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Veterans Affairs, operating under the Sac Frederick (36C10X) contracting office, where she manages the acquisition of specialized information technology services critical to modernizing VA clinical and administrative operations. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions for custom software development, systems integration, and digital health infrastructure, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission to deliver secure, scalable, and interoperable healthcare solutions. She routinely handles complex IT service contracts under FAR and VA-specific acquisition guidelines, prioritizing compliance, performance-based outcomes, and cybersecurity standards in all procurements. Dolin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC, VETERANS HEALTHCARE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS, INC, Argent ARC LLC, PROMETHEUS FEDERAL SERVICES LLC, and AQUESTIVE THERAPEUTICS, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in healthcare IT, clinical workflow automation, and pharmaceutical supply chain digitization. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with demonstrated capability in federal healthcare environments, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure operational continuity. Her procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and vendor capability over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with mission-critical timelines and specialized skill requirements. Dolin’s primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), indicating deep specialization in bespoke software development, health information system integration, and data analytics platforms tailored to VA clinical workflows. She consistently acquires services related to EHR optimization, telehealth infrastructure, and secure data exchange systems, demonstrating technical expertise in federal health IT modernization initiatives.
