Michelle Cunningham

Michelle Cunningham serves as a primary procurement contact within the Department of Veterans Affairs. In this role, she is responsible for managing acquisitions and overseeing the procurement process to support the agency's operational and clinical requirements. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement patterns show a strong lean toward full and open competitions, with no set-aside designations accounting for the majority of activity. However, there is a documented commitment to small business participation, specifically through Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, as well as allocations for total small businesses and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) eligible entities. Her technical procurement focus is heavily concentrated in the medical and healthcare equipment sectors. This expertise is evidenced by a primary focus on Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing and Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing. Additionally, her procurement activity extends to the maintenance of electronic and precision equipment, surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing, and services related to skilled nursing care facilities.
