Phillip G Duba

Phillip G. Duba serves as a key procurement lead within the 245-NETWORK Contract Office 5 (36C245) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical medical and facility infrastructure systems that support clinical operations at VA medical centers. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts for surgical instrumentation, specialized healthcare equipment, and environmental support services, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission of operational readiness and clinical excellence. Duba’s portfolio emphasizes high-reliability medical devices and mission-critical support systems, requiring stringent compliance with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications for healthcare environments. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including JAN-CARE AMBULANCE OF RALEIGH COUNTY, INC., K & M TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, PANAKEIA, LLC, and GUARDIAN ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES CO INC, reflecting a focus on transportation logistics, environmental services, and specialized medical supply chains. These partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures, with an emphasis on reliability, regulatory compliance, and service continuity in veteran-facing healthcare settings. Duba’s contracting patterns demonstrate a strong preference for open competition, with 71% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively supports socioeconomic programs, consistently awarding contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (15.1%) and total small business concerns (14.0%), aligning with VA’s statutory obligations and commitment to veteran-owned enterprise. His technical expertise centers on NAICS codes 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with additional focus on dental equipment, environmental remediation services, and building equipment contracting. This reflects deep domain knowledge in procuring precision medical hardware, sterile supply systems, and facility support technologies essential to modern VA healthcare delivery.
