Phillip W. York

Phillip W. York serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Health Agency, responsible for managing critical acquisitions that support operational medical readiness across the Department of Defense’s global healthcare network. He oversees the procurement of advanced electromedical equipment, surgical instruments, clinical IT systems, and specialized healthcare support services, ensuring alignment with DHA’s mission to deliver high-quality, secure, and scalable medical care to service members, retirees, and their families. His acquisitions directly enable modernization of clinical workflows, maintenance of diagnostic and surgical infrastructure, and enhancement of pharmaceutical and sterilization supply chains. York maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including DEPENDABLE ON-SITE SCAN & SHRED, INC. for secure medical document handling, HANITH BIOSCIENCE, LLC for biotechnology solutions, LIVION TECHNOLOGY, LLC for digital health platforms, I-2-I SOLUTIONS, INC. for IT systems integration, and DRAEGER INC for critical care and anesthesia equipment. These partnerships reflect a preference for technically proficient, niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent DoD compliance and interoperability standards. His contracting approach prioritizes open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a deliberate 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance supports both scale and innovation, enabling access to specialized small business capabilities without compromising mission-critical requirements. York’s procurement portfolio is evenly distributed across four key NAICS categories: electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, surgical and medical instrument manufacturing, industrial laundering services, and computer systems design services. This technical breadth underscores his expertise in acquiring complex clinical hardware, sterile processing infrastructure, and integrated health IT solutions essential to modern military medicine.
