Tammi R. Lambert

Tammi R. Lambert serves as a key procurement lead within the W40M MRC0 West agency under the Department of the Army, responsible for securing critical medical readiness capabilities essential to operational field medicine. Her work centers on acquiring in-vitro diagnostic substances, surgical instruments, sterilization systems, and blood management solutions that enable high-acuity care in austere environments. She ensures alignment with the agency’s mission of maintaining medical sovereignty by facilitating timely, compliant acquisitions that support combat medics and forward-deployed medical units. Her portfolio emphasizes rapid-response medical technologies and lifecycle-support services critical to military health readiness. Lambert maintains consistent 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 preference for established providers with proven capabilities in diagnostic instrumentation, sterile processing, and intraoperative monitoring systems. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical reliability and supply chain resilience, often leveraging blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure uninterrupted access to mission-critical medical supplies. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Lambert directs 80% of her acquisitions toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently awarding contracts to small and emerging medical service providers. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity building within the defense medical industrial base, particularly among firms with specialized expertise in field-deployable diagnostics and sterilization logistics. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers), reflecting an intensive need for specialized medical textile reprocessing and infection control services in deployed settings. She also engages NAICS 621910 (Ambulance Services) for mobile medical support contracting. This technical domain expertise reveals a deep understanding of the intersection between clinical logistics, infection prevention, and operational medical sustainment in theater.
