Monica Wideman

Monica Wideman serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Health Agency, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver seamless, readiness-driven healthcare services to uniformed personnel, retirees, and their families. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on clinical infrastructure, diagnostic equipment, and workforce development, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for operational medical readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for specialized medical technologies and professional training services, with a strong emphasis on compliance, clinical efficacy, and supply chain resilience. Wideman maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These vendors provide critical capabilities ranging from medical device maintenance and pharmaceutical logistics to advanced ophthalmic instrumentation and clinical training solutions. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient suppliers with proven track records in defense and healthcare environments, indicating a focus on reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term service support. Wideman’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude small business participation when they meet stringent qualification standards. Her approach emphasizes merit-based selection grounded in quality, innovation, and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 339115 (Ophthalmic Goods Manufacturing) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), underscoring expertise in procuring precision medical devices for vision care and specialized clinical education programs. She routinely acquires advanced surgical optics, diagnostic imaging systems, and accredited training curricula designed to sustain provider competency across global military medical installations.
