Pearl Wray

Pearl Wray serves as the primary contracting lead for the 241-NETWORK Contract Office 01 (36C241) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and electromedical systems essential to VA medical center operations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with VA’s mission to deliver reliable, cutting-edge clinical services to veterans. She specializes in high-stakes acquisitions involving diagnostic equipment, surgical instrumentation, facility maintenance systems, and associated engineering and technical support services, frequently coordinating with clinical stakeholders to translate operational requirements into technically sound contract statements of work. Wray maintains sustained working relationships with a core group of contractors including Epernay Design & Construction LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, P.D.S. Consultants, Inc., L1 Enterprises Incorporated, and South Middlesex Opportunity Council, Inc. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large-capacity builders and specialized service providers, with consistent engagement across construction, engineering, and facility systems integration. Her procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and performance accountability, fostering collaborative relationships that support mission-critical uptime and compliance with federal healthcare standards. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 80.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) participation, accounting for 19.5% of awards, reflecting a deliberate commitment to veteran-owned enterprise development. This pattern underscores her alignment with VA’s broader socioeconomic goals while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Wray’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), where she procures specialized design and systems integration for medical facilities, followed by significant activity in 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), ensuring VA facilities are equipped with modern diagnostic and therapeutic devices. She also manages acquisitions under 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 513210 (Software Publishers), demonstrating expertise across interdisciplinary domains critical to healthcare infrastructure modernization.
