Shenecqua Soares

Shenecqua Soares serves as a key procurement professional within the W40M MRC0 West agency under the Department of the Army, supporting the critical mission of sustaining military medical readiness. She manages the acquisition of advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and laboratory systems essential for field-deployable, high-acuity care, ensuring operational sovereignty through timely access to cutting-edge medical technologies. Her portfolio encompasses in-vitro diagnostic reagents, electromedical devices, surgical instrumentation, sterilization equipment, and blood management solutions, all vital to combat support and expeditionary medical operations. She operates with full authority under full and open competition, aligning acquisitions with DoD medical modernization priorities and readiness standards. Soares maintains strategic partnerships with leading medical technology vendors including Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Abbott Molecular Inc., Cardinal Health 414, LLC, Surgical Neuromonitoring Associates, Inc., and Premier Shockwave, Inc. These relationships reflect a consistent reliance on industry leaders with proven capabilities in clinical diagnostics, neuro-monitoring systems, and sterile supply chain solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration to meet rapidly evolving battlefield medical needs. Soares consistently employs full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside preferences for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest-performing, most technologically advanced solutions available, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting, even as it limits small business participation in her portfolio. Her procurement activity is concentrated in four primary NAICS categories: pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, and electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance. This technical specialization underscores deep expertise in diagnostic chemistry, point-of-care testing, surgical monitoring systems, and medical device lifecycle support, positioning her at the intersection of clinical medicine and defense logistics.
