Sandra Mruk

Sandra Mruk serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code: 36C776), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions for medical equipment, facility upgrades, and digital health systems, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and VA-specific mission priorities. She specializes in technical acquisitions supporting clinical operations, with a focus on advanced medical instrumentation and health information technology systems that directly enhance patient care delivery across VA medical centers. Mruk maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in healthcare construction, engineering services, and medical supply chain logistics. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contract administration rigor, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and regulatory adherence. While the majority of her acquisitions—91.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Mruk demonstrates targeted support for socioeconomic programs, with a notable emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides at 5.6%. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced commitment to efficiency and veteran-owned enterprise participation, aligning with VA’s broader goals of empowering veteran entrepreneurs while maintaining mission-critical operational standards. Her technical focus centers on NAICS categories related to medical device manufacturing and analytical instrumentation, particularly 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). She routinely procures electromedical devices, diagnostic tools, and laboratory equipment, demonstrating deep familiarity with FDA-regulated medical technologies and the integration of these systems into VA’s electronic health record infrastructure.
