Mayte D. Diaz

Mayte Diaz serves as a secondary contracting professional within the 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22 (36C262) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, supporting the procurement of critical healthcare infrastructure and operational services essential to veteran medical care. While not the lead contracting officer, Diaz plays a vital role in executing complex acquisition strategies that ensure the modernization and reliability of VA clinical environments. Their responsibilities include supporting the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for medical equipment, facility support services, and specialized transportation, aligning closely with the office’s mission to sustain technologically advanced healthcare delivery systems across VA networks. Diaz maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including EXELAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC, SIRTEX MEDICAL INC, ONE LIFE TRANSPORTATION LLC, A-TEAM SOLUTIONS LLC, and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing high-value medical technologies, logistics support, and facility maintenance services from both large-capacity providers and specialized vendors. Their collaborative engagement patterns emphasize compliance, performance accountability, and lifecycle support for mission-critical systems. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion, with nearly equal portions of awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and no set-aside competitions, indicating a strategic balance between targeted outreach and open market competition. A smaller but meaningful share of awards supports total small business participation under FAR 19.5, underscoring a deliberate commitment to expanding veteran-owned and small business involvement in VA healthcare procurement. Diaz’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to medical logistics, equipment maintenance, and facility operations, particularly 621910 (Ambulance Services), 561210 (Facilities Support Services), and 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). This technical domain expertise reflects deep familiarity with the lifecycle management of diagnostic tools, clinical support systems, and infrastructure services critical to maintaining operational readiness in VA healthcare facilities.
