Robert Halliday

Robert Halliday serves as a Clinical Analyst responsible for evaluating and specifying clinical equipment and medical supplies to support healthcare delivery systems. In this role, he bridges clinical requirements with procurement strategy, ensuring that acquired technologies meet rigorous safety, performance, and interoperability standards. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to procure high-quality medical assets that enhance patient care outcomes. Halliday typically handles complex acquisitions of surgical appliances, medical instruments, and hospital-grade equipment, often coordinating with clinical teams, biomedical engineers, and supply chain personnel to define technical specifications and compliance requirements. Halliday’s contractor relationships center on manufacturers and wholesale distributors specializing in medical devices and surgical supplies. He engages with firms that hold FDA clearances and ISO 13485 certifications, prioritizing vendors with proven track records in regulatory compliance and just-in-time logistics. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with established players in the medical device supply chain who offer robust technical documentation, post-sale support, and traceability systems required for clinical environments. Halliday’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead emphasizing technical suitability, regulatory adherence, and supply chain reliability as primary selection criteria. This approach aligns with the operational demands of clinical settings where product consistency and compliance outweigh socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), followed by 423450 (Medical Equipment Wholesalers) and 339112 (Surgical Instrument Manufacturing). He specializes in procuring reusable and single-use surgical tools, sterilization-compatible devices, and clinically validated consumables, demonstrating deep expertise in medical device classification, ANSI/ISO standards, and FDA regulatory pathways.
