Rhonda M. Hammonds

Rhonda M. Hammonds serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Health Agency, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver seamless, readiness-focused healthcare services to uniformed personnel, retirees, and their families. She manages a portfolio of acquisitions centered on administrative and management consulting services, ensuring that clinical workflows, health data infrastructure, and operational support systems are optimized for efficiency and compliance. Her work directly enables the DHA’s strategic priorities by facilitating expert advisory services that enhance decision-making, streamline administrative processes, and support modernization initiatives across the global DoD healthcare enterprise. Hammonds maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized firms, including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc., Hanith Bioscience, LLC, Livion Technology, LLC, I-2-I Solutions, Inc., and Draeger Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-integrity service providers delivering administrative support, clinical workflow solutions, and technology-enabled health system enhancements. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in healthcare operations and compliance-driven consulting, suggesting a track record of sustained, performance-based engagements rather than transactional procurements. Hammonds’ procurement activity is entirely classified under the “No Set-Aside” category, indicating a deliberate focus on open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission-critical requirements where technical expertise and operational continuity take precedence over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not diminish the value of small business participation in the broader DHA ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—underscoring deep expertise in securing advisory services that improve healthcare administration, regulatory compliance, and organizational effectiveness. She routinely procures strategic consulting, process optimization, and systems integration support tailored to the complex, high-stakes environment of military medical operations.
