Monique Cordero

Monique Cordero serves as a Contract Specialist with the 246-NETWORK Contracting Office 6 (36C246) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain and modernize the clinical infrastructure supporting Veterans Health Administration facilities. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for high-value medical equipment, facility maintenance systems, and specialized healthcare support services, ensuring alignment with VA’s operational readiness goals. She routinely manages complex solicitations under FAR Part 15, leveraging competitive contracting methods to secure technologically advanced solutions that enhance patient care environments. Cordero maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Cepheid, Roche Diagnostics Corporation, and Reliance Medical Transport, LLC, reflecting a focus on trusted vendors with proven capabilities in diagnostic instrumentation, medical logistics, and clinical support services. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established, high-reliability contractors with demonstrated compliance and technical expertise in healthcare delivery systems, often resulting in long-term performance-based agreements that prioritize clinical outcomes and regulatory adherence. While the majority of her acquisitions—97.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Cordero maintains a measured commitment to socioeconomic programs, with small business set-asides and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) awards each accounting for 1.4% of her portfolio. This reflects a balanced approach that prioritizes mission needs while intentionally integrating qualified small businesses where feasible. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Nursing Care Facilities (623110), Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (811210), and Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (339112), underscoring her technical expertise in procuring skilled nursing infrastructure, diagnostic and surgical instrumentation, and precision equipment servicing. Cordero’s work directly supports the modernization of clinical environments through targeted acquisitions in medical technology and facility sustainment.
