Rochelle Bennett

Rochelle Bennett serves as the primary contracting lead for the 262-NETWORK Contract Office 22 (36C262) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she oversees the acquisition of critical medical infrastructure, diagnostic equipment, and operational support services essential to sustaining VA healthcare delivery. Her role is central to ensuring clinical operational readiness through timely, compliant procurements that align with VA’s modernization priorities. She manages a diverse portfolio of contract actions spanning medical technology, facility maintenance, and specialized transportation services, applying full lifecycle contracting expertise from requirements development to award and administration. Bennett maintains strategic relationships with key vendors including EXELAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC, SIRTEX MEDICAL INC, ONE LIFE TRANSPORTATION LLC, A-TEAM SOLUTIONS LLC, and SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, reflecting a balanced mix of large-capability contractors and specialized service providers. Her procurement patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and requirements contracts to ensure scalable, responsive support across VA medical centers. She prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in healthcare logistics, biomedical maintenance, and technical consulting to meet complex clinical needs. Her contracting approach demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 40% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—particularly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) at 16.2% and Total Small Business Set-Asides at 23.5%. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to leverage veteran-owned enterprise capabilities within the VA ecosystem. Bennett’s primary NAICS focus areas include Ambulance Services (621910), Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), and Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair (811310), indicating deep engagement with clinical transportation, biomedical engineering support, and facility systems maintenance. Her expertise lies in procuring specialized medical logistics, technical consulting for healthcare systems integration, and infrastructure repair services critical to sustaining safe, high-functioning veteran care environments.
