Shavokie Gibson

Shavokie Gibson serves as a key procurement professional within the Network Contract Office 23 (36C263) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions of critical medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility infrastructure essential to VA healthcare delivery. Their work directly supports the operational readiness of VA medical centers nationwide, ensuring veterans receive timely access to advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical technologies. Gibson handles a diverse portfolio of contract actions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, including sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, with a focus on high-impact, mission-critical medical and laboratory systems. Gibson maintains established working relationships with a core group of vendors including BZ Construction and Development LLC, Highlands Enterprises LLC, Abbott Laboratories Inc., Primary Care Solutions Inc., and Pedersen & Rangel. These partnerships span manufacturing, distribution, and integrated service solutions, reflecting a balanced approach between large-scale industry leaders and specialized suppliers capable of meeting stringent VA clinical and regulatory standards. The contracting patterns indicate consistent, repeat engagement with contractors demonstrating reliability in compliance, logistics, and technical support for complex medical deployments. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong emphasis on broad competition, with 70% of awards issued without set-aside, while 25% are reserved for total small business participation and 5% specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market competition while intentionally fostering opportunities for veteran-owned and small business enterprises within the healthcare supply chain. Gibson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies), 334516 (analytical laboratory instruments), 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substances), 339112 (surgical instruments), and 334510 (electromedical apparatus). Their expertise lies in acquiring precision medical devices, diagnostic reagents, and electrotherapeutic systems, requiring deep technical understanding of FDA-regulated products, biomedical standards, and clinical integration requirements.
