Andre Pharms

Andre Pharms serves as the primary contracting lead for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Rpo West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing the acquisition of physical infrastructure essential to veteran healthcare delivery. His role centers on securing nonresidential real estate assets—including leased clinical spaces, outpatient facilities, and medical support buildings—to ensure operational readiness across veteran service centers. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities, from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring, with a focus on mission-critical facility modernization and expansion initiatives. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to provide accessible, high-quality healthcare environments for veterans through secure, compliant, and sustainably managed infrastructure. Pharms maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors specializing in facility leasing and healthcare infrastructure development, including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for established entities with demonstrated expertise in managing complex medical facility leases and adaptive reuse of commercial properties for clinical purposes. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term stability, performance accountability, and compliance with federal real property standards. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside awards at 75%, with 12.5% allocated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and another 12.5% to 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern indicates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives while prioritizing broad competition to ensure optimal value and facility readiness. All of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting a singular focus on leasing medical-grade real estate rather than construction or renovation. His technical domain expertise lies in evaluating facility suitability for clinical operations, including ADA compliance, HVAC specifications, medical gas infrastructure, and security integration requirements for healthcare environments.
