Maria Fidone

Maria Fidone serves as a key procurement lead within the W40M USA HCA, operating under the Department of the Army’s Medical Command, where she manages the acquisition of critical medical technologies and clinical support systems essential to military readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and laboratory systems used in both battlefield and garrison healthcare environments. She ensures alignment with DoD medical modernization priorities, focusing on procurement strategies that enhance combat medic capabilities and sustain garrison-level medical infrastructure. Her portfolio is heavily weighted toward high-stakes, mission-critical healthcare acquisitions that directly impact troop survivability and operational health outcomes. Fidone maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading medical technology providers including QUIDELORTHO SALES COMPANY, LLC, STERIS CORPORATION, MDM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, SYSMEX AMERICA, INC, and LBT DIAGNOSTIC RADIATION PHYSICS CONSULTING LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in sterile processing, diagnostic instrumentation, and radiation safety compliance. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based service agreements and technical specification-driven solicitations, ensuring interoperability with existing military medical systems and adherence to FDA and DoD regulatory standards. Her procurement approach demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 20% of awards designated for 8(a) competed set-asides and another 20% reserved for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and diversify the supplier base within the military medical supply chain. Fidone’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians), reflecting her central role in acquiring physician-grade diagnostic and clinical support systems for military treatment facilities. She also oversees specialized computer facilities management services under NAICS 541513, ensuring the integration of medical IT infrastructure.
