Victoria M. Torres

Victoria Torres serves as the primary contracting professional for the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of critical medical infrastructure and clinical equipment essential to sustaining VA healthcare delivery. Her portfolio centers on procuring surgical instruments, laboratory analyzers, electromedical devices, and home health equipment to support diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services across VA medical facilities. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to modernize clinical capabilities and maintain facility readiness for veteran care. Torres maintains longstanding relationships with key vendors including Abbott Laboratories, Cynergy Professional Systems, Integrated Trans Joint Venture, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing high-precision medical devices from large manufacturers and specialized infrastructure services from qualified contractors. Her contracting patterns emphasize technical reliability, regulatory compliance, and lifecycle support, particularly for complex instrumentation requiring installation, calibration, and ongoing service agreements. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly half of her awards designated for small businesses, including a significant focus on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While over half of her contracts remain open to full and open competition, she consistently prioritizes veteran-owned and small business participation, reinforcing VA’s mandate to empower underserved contractor communities. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS categories including surgical and medical instrument manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrument production, and home health equipment rental. She specializes in acquiring precision diagnostic tools, electromedical devices, and surgical supplies, demonstrating deep familiarity with FDA-regulated medical technology and the operational demands of clinical environments serving veteran populations.
