Tamara Fenwick

Tamara Fenwick serves as a primary procurement lead within Dha Enterprise Medical Support (EMS-CD), operating under the Defense Health Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the Department of Defense’s mission to deliver secure, scalable, and integrated health IT solutions. She manages the acquisition lifecycle for enterprise-level clinical and administrative systems, with a focus on modernizing digital infrastructure to support operational readiness and data-driven care delivery. Her portfolio encompasses complex IT services, systems design, and administrative consulting contracts critical to sustaining the military health ecosystem. Fenwick collaborates with a diverse range of federal contractors specializing in health IT modernization, including firms delivering cloud-based clinical platforms, health data analytics, and enterprise workflow automation. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in DoD compliance, cybersecurity standards (e.g., NIST SP 800-53), and interoperability frameworks such as HL7 and FHIR. She consistently engages with both large systems integrators and niche technical service providers to ensure mission-critical capabilities are delivered with agility and resilience. Fenwick’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and vendor innovation over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains aligned with broader DHA goals to foster a competitive, capable small business ecosystem through transparent, merit-based evaluations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541611 (Management Consulting Services), with significant activity in 541512 (Computer Systems Design) and 621511 (Medical Laboratories). She routinely acquires services related to health information system integration, clinical workflow optimization, laboratory information management, and enterprise IT strategy consulting—demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of healthcare operations and defense-critical technology modernization.
