Benford Brundage

Benford Brundage serves as a key procurement lead within the 247-NETWORK Contract Office 7 (36C247) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the physical and technological infrastructure underpinning veteran healthcare delivery. His portfolio centers on medical equipment, facility systems, and specialized maintenance services critical to clinical operations across VA medical centers. He routinely oversees contracts governed by FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, with a focus on performance-based acquisitions for clinical instrumentation, environmental systems, and diagnostic technology procurement, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission of safe, accessible, and technologically advanced care environments. Brundage maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including BIRMINGHAM INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION, LLC, EXCELSIOR AMBULANCE SERVICE INC, TRANSOX INC, VASCULAR RADIOLOGY ASSOCIATES II, and Veterans Service Solutions LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large-capacity service providers and specialized niche vendors, particularly those with deep expertise in medical infrastructure, emergency transport, and diagnostic service delivery. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term performance reliability and compliance with federal healthcare standards, often requiring rigorous technical evaluations and post-award surveillance. His procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly half of his awards structured as no set-aside, while actively prioritizing Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides at 20% and total small business set-asides at 30%. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster veteran-led enterprise participation while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical requirements that demand broader market competition. Brundage’s technical focus spans NAICS codes including 238220 (plumbing, heating, and HVAC systems), 532490 (commercial equipment leasing), 811219 (repair and maintenance of medical devices), 339112 (surgical instrument manufacturing), and 511210 (software publishing for healthcare applications). His expertise lies in procuring integrated systems that bridge clinical operations with facility infrastructure, ensuring seamless interoperability between medical technology and built environments.
