Moneque Rodriguez serves as a Contracting Officer for the 248-NETWORK Contract Office 8 (36C248) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of critical medical, facility, and operational support services essential to modernizing VA healthcare infrastructure. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus, analytical laboratory instruments, surgical supplies, and pharmaceutical preparations, alongside facility upgrades involving HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
