Michael A. Hunter

Michael A. Hunter serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Health Agency (HT9406), supporting the procurement of critical healthcare and technical services that sustain operational readiness for uniformed personnel, retirees, and their families. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional, scientific, and technical services, with a focus on clinical workflow modernization, pharmaceutical supply chain support, and health data infrastructure. His work ensures compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning contracts with the agency’s strategic priorities in clinical quality and technological innovation. Hunter maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of 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 preference for specialized service providers delivering niche capabilities in biosecurity, medical technology integration, IT support, and clinical equipment maintenance. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, vendor reliability, and mission-critical service continuity. His contracting activity is predominantly unrestricted, with 88.9% of awards issued under open competition and only 11.1% designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his limited use of socioeconomic programs reflects a targeted, mission-driven approach rather than a broad small business emphasis. Hunter’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), each accounting for one-third of his portfolio. He also frequently procures services under 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), indicating expertise in health IT systems, data analytics, and technical support infrastructure. His domain knowledge spans clinical operations, medical logistics, and secure health information systems, positioning him as a key enabler of DHA’s digital transformation and readiness initiatives.
