Lynette M. Parson

Lynette M. Parson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the operational readiness of uniformed service members, retirees, and their families. She specializes in procuring dental equipment and supplies under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with DoD health standards and clinical workflow modernization goals. Her portfolio encompasses the acquisition of advanced diagnostic tools, surgical instrumentation, and related consumables essential to military medical readiness, with a strong emphasis on quality assurance and supply chain resilience. Parson maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche providers offering clinically validated dental and medical technology solutions, often requiring technical evaluation and regulatory alignment. Her approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and adherence to stringent DoD medical device compliance protocols. She exhibits a steadfast commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of her acquisitions toward Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate a robust ecosystem of small, innovative suppliers capable of meeting the unique demands of military healthcare. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize socioeconomic programs that expand market access for small businesses without compromising technical or operational requirements. Parson’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 339114—Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing—demonstrating deep expertise in the procurement of dental radiography systems, autoclaves, dental chairs, sterilization units, and precision dental instruments. Her domain knowledge ensures that all acquisitions align with clinical standards, infection control protocols, and the Defense Health Agency’s mission to sustain high-quality oral health services across the global DoD footprint.
