Traci Leonard

Traci Leonard serves as a key procurement lead within the W40M USA HCA, a critical component of the Department of the Army’s medical readiness infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of specialized clinical and diagnostic equipment essential to battlefield and garrison healthcare operations, ensuring combat medics and military medical facilities are equipped with life-saving technologies. Her portfolio centers on high-integrity medical systems, including surgical instruments, laboratory analyzers, and radiation physics support services, all aligned with the Army’s mission to sustain operational health readiness. Leonard operates within a highly regulated acquisition environment, applying rigorous compliance protocols to procure mission-critical medical assets under federal contracting frameworks. Leonard maintains consistent, long-term relationships with top-tier medical technology providers including QuidelOrtho, Steris, MDM Technologies, Sysmex America, and LBT Diagnostic Radiation Physics Consulting. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade sterilization, point-of-care diagnostics, and radiation safety compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical support capabilities, and adherence to military specifications, fostering collaborative relationships with suppliers who can deliver rapid deployment and field-service readiness. Leonard’s procurement strategy is exclusively focused on 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All awarded contracts are structured to promote small business development among disadvantaged entrepreneurs, aligning with the Department of Defense’s mandate to maximize participation from certified 8(a) firms. This pattern underscores her role as a catalyst for equitable access to federal medical procurement opportunities. Her primary NAICS classification is 561720 (Janitorial Services), which, while seemingly incongruous, reflects the agency’s unique use of this code to procure specialized decontamination, sterilization, and infection control services critical to medical facility operations. Leonard’s expertise lies in interpreting and applying NAICS codes to accurately capture high-risk, low-volume medical support services that require stringent regulatory compliance and technical precision.
