Roxanne Franklin

Roxanne R. Franklin serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supporting mission-critical procurement objectives within her organization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical and medical equipment procurement, with a strong emphasis on IT infrastructure, electromedical devices, and support services. Franklin’s work ensures timely delivery of high-priority goods and services aligned with operational needs, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define precise performance specifications and evaluation criteria. While specific contractor names are not available, Franklin maintains a balanced vendor engagement strategy that includes both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. Her contracting patterns reflect a structured approach to competitive solicitation, with a preference for open market opportunities balanced by targeted set-asides to promote equitable access. She actively fosters relationships with vendors capable of delivering complex technical solutions under strict regulatory and quality assurance standards. Franklin demonstrates a clear commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, with over 45% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. Notably, she consistently utilizes the Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) and has a significant focus on the Buy Indian Set-Aside, reflecting alignment with Indian Health Services priorities. Although Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides represent a smaller portion of her portfolio, her overall pattern underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for historically underrepresented vendors. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to medical and computer equipment manufacturing, including electromedical apparatus (334510), surgical instruments (339112), and computer peripheral systems (334118). She routinely acquires diagnostic devices, clinical monitoring systems, and supporting IT hardware, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical specifications and regulatory standards governing medical-grade electronics. Her expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare technology and federal procurement policy.
