Yvette H. Dluhos

Yvette H. Dluhos serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Health Agency, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare support services that underpin operational readiness across the Department of Defense’s global medical footprint. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on clinical infrastructure, health data systems, and mission-critical technical services, ensuring alignment with DHA’s strategic priorities in modernizing clinical workflows and securing health information infrastructure. Her acquisitions are primarily performance-based, emphasizing quality assurance, compliance with federal health standards, and integration with DoD-wide health IT ecosystems. Dluhos maintains consistent partnerships with specialized vendors including Dependable On-Site Scan & Shred, Inc. for secure document management, Hanith Bioscience, LLC for pharmaceutical and biologic supply chain support, Livion Technology, LLC for advanced diagnostic equipment maintenance, I-2-I Solutions, Inc. for IT and cybersecurity services, and Draeger Inc. for critical care and surgical equipment. These relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in defense healthcare environments and demonstrated capacity to meet stringent DoD compliance and logistics requirements. Her contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic criteria, though it does not preclude small business participation where vendors meet technical and performance thresholds. Dluhos’s procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a strong emphasis on health information systems, clinical software platforms, and data interoperability tools. She also regularly procures professional services under NAICS 541820 (Public Relations Agencies) for strategic communications and NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) for workforce upskilling in clinical and IT domains. Her expertise lies at the intersection of healthcare technology, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical service delivery within the defense medical enterprise.
