Vicki Whiteman

Vicki Whiteman serves as a Contracting Officer with the Strategic Acquisition Center Fredericksburg (36C10G) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of advanced electromedical, diagnostic, dental, and ophthalmic equipment critical to modernizing VA healthcare delivery. Her role encompasses full-cycle contract management—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance oversight—ensuring that procurement activities align with VA’s mission to provide veterans with cutting-edge, safe, and reliable clinical technologies. She specializes in complex procurements for medical devices and supporting infrastructure, often coordinating with clinical stakeholders to align technical requirements with operational needs. Whiteman maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Fidelis Sustainability Distribution LLC, Contemporary Product Solutions, Inc., and Veterans Healthcare Supply Solutions, Inc., all of which provide specialized medical equipment and supply chain support. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in FDA-regulated medical device distribution and technical service delivery. She collaborates closely with suppliers who offer lifecycle support, calibration services, and compliance documentation essential for federal healthcare environments. Whiteman’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on open competition based on technical merit and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic categorizations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her evaluations emphasize vendor performance history, quality assurance systems, and compliance with ISO and FDA standards, ensuring the highest levels of clinical safety and reliability. Her primary procurement focus is under NAICS 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), reflecting her expertise in acquiring integrated diagnostic systems, digital imaging platforms, and computerized surgical instrumentation. She routinely manages acquisitions of technologically advanced equipment requiring rigorous validation, cybersecurity compliance, and interoperability with VA’s existing health information systems.
