Health Care Contracting
An increasing portion of the federal budget is being allocated to supporting health care programs for our nation’s veterans, active duty service personnel and their dependents. The majority of these programs are centralized in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DOD).
Effective participation in these programs requires insight and experience with the FSS and national contracting programs administered by the VA’s National Acquisition Center (NAC), prime vendor programs administered by the VA and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), DLA E-Catalog contracts and emerging programs and standardization initiatives through the VA’s Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) and the Defense Health Agency (DHA).
Roeder, Cochran, Phillips, PLLC, professionals have extensive experience with all these programs and agencies, and interacts on a regular basis with decision-makers and professionals in all of these organizations in order to provide timely, effective and current counseling to our firm’s clients.
