As medical processes, procedures, and equipment changes, the Facilities Team is responsible for updating the facilities and associated infrastructure to meet the requirements of those changes.
We also construct new facilities as VA programs are developed (Women’s clinics, OEF/OIF Clinics, etc.)
These procurements are primarily fulfilled by awarding contracts to qualified and verified SDVOSB companies.
Our greatest challenge is finding qualified and verified SDVOSB companies and firms with medical facility construction and/or renovation experience.
Examples of some of the NAICS Codes needed are generally 236220, 238210, 238220, 541310, 541330
