Rosa R. Rodgers Contract Specialist

Rosa Rodgers serves as a procurement specialist within the 244-NETWORK Contract Office 4 (36C244) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical healthcare infrastructure and medical support services for VA medical centers and community-based outpatient clinics. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on high-impact categories such as medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility modernization. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the VA’s strategic mission to enhance diagnostic capabilities and clinical care delivery for veterans nationwide. Rosa maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including EXELAN PHARMACEUTICALS INC, RLS CONSTRUCTION GROUP, TRANS-MED AMBULANCE INC., HAMHED LLC, and FOREIGN POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INC., reflecting a diverse portfolio spanning pharmaceutical distribution, facility construction, emergency medical transport, and technical consulting. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance, with a preference for established firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical solutions under tight operational timelines. Her set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly oriented toward open competition, with 88.4% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation remains secondary, she occasionally utilizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Total Small Business set-asides, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic goals within a predominantly unrestricted acquisition environment. Rosa’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 532490 (equipment leasing), 541511 (custom computer programming), and 339113 (surgical appliance manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring medical device leasing arrangements, health IT system development, and clinical supply chains. Her domain knowledge spans biomedical technology integration, facility infrastructure upgrades, and technical consulting services essential to sustaining modern VA healthcare operations.
