Leslie James

Leslie James serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of Veterans Affairs, operating under the Sac Frederick (36C10X) contracting office, where they oversee the acquisition of specialized medical and operational equipment critical to veteran healthcare delivery. Their role centers on managing full lifecycle contracting actions for high-priority clinical infrastructure needs, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific procurement directives. James routinely handles complex solicitations for medical devices, pharmaceutical formulations, and ordnance-related supply chain solutions that support VA medical centers and veterans’ health services nationwide. James maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of vendors 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 preference for established suppliers with proven capabilities in delivering FDA-regulated medical products, military-grade medical kits, and specialized pharmaceutical delivery systems. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on vendors with deep expertise in clinical logistics and federal compliance, often involving long-term blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. All procurements managed by James are executed under a No Set-Aside designation, indicating a focus on competitive open bidding rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with mission-critical requirements where rapid deployment and regulatory compliance are paramount. The primary NAICS classification under James’s purview is 332994 — Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing — which, despite its military connotation, reflects the procurement of specialized medical ordnance systems used in battlefield trauma care, emergency response kits, and combat casualty equipment. Their technical expertise lies in the intersection of defense-grade medical hardware and clinical usability, ensuring that VA facilities receive mission-ready, ruggedized medical solutions compliant with DoD and VA standards.
