Tim Garrity

Tim Garrity serves as a Contracting Officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs, RPO West (36C24W), where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and medical equipment to support veteran-centric clinical services. His portfolio centers on procuring electromedical devices, surgical instrumentation, and facility support services essential to modernizing outpatient clinics and maintaining operational readiness across VA service centers. Garrity ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality, accessible healthcare through secure, well-equipped medical environments. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc., reflecting a balanced mix of healthcare providers, specialized manufacturers, and research-driven vendors. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term operational sustainability, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering complex medical systems and facility enhancements under strict regulatory and clinical standards. Garrity demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of his awards structured as service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, complemented by a significant portion allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While over half of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his deliberate use of set-asides reinforces VA’s priority of empowering veteran-owned enterprises and expanding small business participation in mission-critical healthcare procurements. His technical focus is concentrated in NAICS categories 334510 (electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus), 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies), and 339112 (surgical and medical instrument manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring specialized clinical equipment. He also regularly engages in acquisitions under 561210 (facilities support services) and 611430 (professional training), underscoring his holistic approach to sustaining both the physical and human capital infrastructure necessary for veteran healthcare delivery.
