Michelle Rhodes

Michelle Rhodes serves as a Contracting Officer, acting as a primary point of contact for the agency's procurement activities. In this role, she is responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle and ensuring that procurement actions align with the agency's mission requirements. Regarding set-aside preferences, the procurement data indicates a strong preference for full and open competitions, with no set-aside requirements applied to the majority of actions. However, there is a notable commitment to socioeconomic goals, particularly through Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which represent a significant portion of the contracting activity, alongside a smaller percentage of total small business set-asides. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in the medical and scientific equipment sectors. This includes a primary emphasis on the manufacturing of surgical and medical instruments, surgical appliances and supplies, and electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus. Additionally, her expertise extends to the procurement of analytical laboratory instruments and administrative management and general management consulting services.
