Richard Broadwater

Richard Broadwater serves as a Senior Contract Specialist, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within a federal healthcare-focused environment. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive and non-competitive acquisitions for essential medical services. His role is central to fulfilling the agency’s mission of delivering high-quality, timely healthcare delivery through efficient and transparent contracting practices. Broadwater typically handles complex service-based contracts, including professional medical staffing, clinical support services, and facility-based operational contracts, emphasizing performance-based acquisition strategies and risk mitigation in contract administration. While specific contractor names are not available, Broadwater maintains consistent engagement with a broad network of healthcare service providers, including clinical practices, medical staffing agencies, and administrative support firms. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated expertise in physician office operations, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics, contract compliance, and continuous improvement. He routinely evaluates proposals for technical merit, past performance, and operational capacity to ensure service continuity and quality of care. Broadwater’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and selecting the most qualified providers based on technical capability and value, rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his approach remains compliant with all statutory requirements and emphasizes equitable access to opportunities for all eligible vendors. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 621111 — Offices of Physicians (except Mental Health Specialists). He specializes in acquiring clinical services such as primary care, diagnostic testing, preventive health screenings, and associated administrative support functions. Broadwater possesses deep domain expertise in physician practice operations, regulatory compliance in outpatient settings, and the unique contractual requirements of ambulatory care delivery systems.
