Benjamin Niznik

Benjamin Niznik serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code: 36C776), where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and facility modernization contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver safe, technologically advanced medical facilities nationwide. His acquisitions frequently support the upgrade of clinical spaces, electronic health records systems, and related operational infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with FAR, DFARS, and specialized construction contracting protocols. Niznik maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven experience in federal healthcare facility projects. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparency and regulatory compliance. His contracting patterns show a strong inclination toward service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) set-asides, accounting for over one-third of awards, alongside a significant portion of total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While nearly 60% of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his deliberate prioritization of SDVOSB and small business participation underscores a commitment to socioeconomic goals and veteran economic empowerment within federal contracting. Niznik’s primary NAICS focus centers on commercial and institutional building construction (236220), with substantial activity in administrative management consulting (541611) and information services (519130, 519290). He routinely procures integrated facility modernization services, EHR infrastructure support, and specialized technical consulting, demonstrating expertise in managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects that bridge physical infrastructure with digital healthcare systems.
