Maureen Sundstrom

Maureen Sundstrom serves as a Contract Specialist with the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical medical and clinical infrastructure to support veteran healthcare delivery. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for surgical instruments, electromedical devices, in-vitro diagnostic systems, and precision laboratory equipment, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning purchases with clinical priorities. Her work directly enables the modernization of VA medical facilities and the maintenance of high-acuity care environments through timely, compliant, and technically sound contracting actions. Sundstrom maintains established relationships with key contractors including Stafford Consulting Company, Inc., Skytek LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Metro West Ambulance Service, Inc., and Salmon Group Inc., reflecting a mix of specialized medical equipment suppliers, technical service providers, and facility infrastructure vendors. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex, regulated healthcare solutions under strict quality and safety standards. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 72.8% of awards issued without set-asides, yet she consistently prioritizes small business participation—nearly 27% of awards are reserved for small businesses, including 8.1% designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). This reflects a deliberate balance between operational efficiency and socioeconomic goals, ensuring veteran-owned and small enterprises have meaningful access to VA contracting opportunities. Sundstrom’s technical focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with significant activity in 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and 334510 (Electromedical Apparatus Manufacturing). Her expertise lies in procuring high-precision, FDA-regulated medical devices and supporting maintenance services essential for clinical operations, demonstrating deep familiarity with the regulatory and technical demands of healthcare procurement.
