Linda Conn

Linda Conn serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of medical and surgical supplies, equipment, and related services to support critical healthcare operations. Her role is central to ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective procurement across clinical and operational needs, aligning with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives. She typically handles solicitations under FAR Part 13 for simplified acquisitions and Part 15 for negotiated contracts, with a focus on high-volume, low-dollar-value purchases that require stringent quality and regulatory compliance. Linda maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of suppliers, primarily medical wholesalers, manufacturers of surgical appliances, and electromedical equipment vendors. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, supply chain resilience, and adherence to technical specifications for medical-grade products. She frequently engages with small and mid-sized distributors specializing in healthcare logistics, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure consistent inventory availability and rapid response to clinical demands. A strong advocate for small business participation, Linda consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over 48% of her awards directed toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 5.4% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize socioeconomic impact, actively encouraging participation from small businesses in the medical supply sector and ensuring compliance with small business goals through targeted outreach and simplified acquisition procedures. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians), where she supports clinical infrastructure through the acquisition of medical devices and consumables. She also regularly sources from NAICS 423450 (Medical Equipment Wholesalers) and NAICS 339113 and 339112 (Surgical Appliance and Instrument Manufacturing), demonstrating deep technical familiarity with sterile supply chains, diagnostic instrumentation, and FDA-regulated medical devices. Linda’s expertise ensures that procurement activities directly enable safe, efficient patient care through reliable access to essential medical goods.
