Susan Davis

Susan Davis serves as a key procurement lead within the Navajo Area Indian Health Service, responsible for managing technical acquisitions that support the delivery of critical healthcare services to Indigenous communities across the Navajo Nation. Her work centers on securing specialized IT and systems design services essential to maintaining clinical workflows, diagnostic capabilities, and health information infrastructure in remote and underserved areas. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts under NAICS 541512, ensuring that technology solutions align with federal health standards and tribal health priorities, including preventive care systems, laboratory information management, and telehealth enablement. Davis maintains a consistent working relationship with Regency Consulting Inc., a primary contractor providing computer systems design services tailored to the unique operational needs of tribal healthcare facilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and cultural competency, with a focus on contractors who understand the logistical and regulatory challenges of delivering health IT in rural, resource-constrained environments. These relationships are built on performance-based outcomes and sustained service delivery rather than transactional engagements. Notably, Davis does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions competed broadly under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing mission-critical capability over socioeconomic criteria. Her primary procurement domain is NAICS 541512, focusing exclusively on computer systems design services that support health information exchange, electronic medical record integration, diagnostic equipment interface systems, and data analytics platforms. She specializes in procuring custom software development, network infrastructure design, and interoperability solutions that enhance clinical decision-making and operational efficiency within IHS facilities.
