Tonya W. Purce

Tonya W. Purce serves as a Contract Specialist at the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg (36C10G) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical medical equipment and support services essential to modernizing VA healthcare delivery. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for surgical appliances, electromedical devices, dental and ophthalmic supplies, and diagnostic instrumentation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with clinical mission priorities. Her work directly supports the agency’s goal of equipping VA facilities with technologically advanced, reliable, and safe medical tools to enhance veteran care outcomes. Purce maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including Fidelis Sustainability Distribution LLC, Contemporary Product Solutions, Inc., and Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc., all of which provide high-precision medical devices and consumables. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with demonstrated expertise in medical manufacturing and logistics, often engaging through competitive sealed bidding and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. She collaborates closely with clinical stakeholders to ensure technical specifications meet stringent safety and performance standards. Purce’s acquisition portfolio is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her focus remains on securing the highest quality medical solutions through rigorous technical evaluation and fair market competition. Her primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 339113 — Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing — reflecting deep specialization in the design, production, and distribution of surgical instruments, sterilization systems, and related medical consumables. She possesses extensive technical knowledge of FDA-regulated medical devices and is adept at evaluating compliance with ISO 13485 and ANSI/AAMI standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet clinical and regulatory requirements for use in VA hospitals and clinics.
