Martin Rios

Martin Rios serves as a Contracting Officer for the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), where he manages the acquisition of critical medical and operational support services essential to sustaining readiness across the Department of Defense’s global healthcare network. His portfolio centers on procuring clinical infrastructure, diagnostic equipment maintenance, and specialized healthcare delivery solutions that align with DHA’s mission to ensure high-quality, secure, and integrated medical services for service members, retirees, and their families. Rios routinely handles competitive and non-competitive procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracts and service-level agreements that prioritize clinical outcomes and supply chain resilience. Rios maintains established relationships with key contractors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in medical waste management, pharmaceutical supply chain support, clinical technology integration, and advanced medical device servicing. His contracting patterns demonstrate a reliance on long-term, performance-driven partnerships with firms that deliver specialized, mission-critical capabilities, often under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or basic ordering agreement (BOA) structures. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Rios consistently allocates approximately 23.5% of his portfolio to small business set-asides, equally divided between Total Small Business and 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster competition among socioeconomically disadvantaged firms while maintaining operational readiness through proven capability. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621111 (Offices of Physicians), reflecting demand for clinical support services, and NAICS 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair), underscoring his expertise in sustaining complex medical equipment. He also procures services under NAICS 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and 541715 (Life Sciences R&D), indicating deep engagement with diagnostic, laboratory, and biomedical innovation sectors.
