Brian Millington

Brian Millington serves as the primary contracting lead for the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical medical equipment, facility infrastructure, and support services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. His portfolio encompasses the procurement of surgical instruments, electromedical devices, in-vitro diagnostics, and laboratory systems, ensuring clinical environments remain modernized and fully operational. He manages full and open competitions alongside targeted set-asides, applying FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures to secure high-integrity, low-risk solutions aligned with VA’s clinical standards. Millington maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STAFFORD CONSULTING COMPANY, INC., SKYTEK LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, METRO WEST AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC., and SALMON GROUP INC. These partnerships span technical services, facility upgrades, and specialized logistics, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal healthcare environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of his acquisitions—73.9%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Millington actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs, with nearly 19% of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and an additional 7% allocated under total small business set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to leverage veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining competitive rigor. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), 562211 and 562112 (Hazardous Waste Management), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). This demonstrates deep expertise in integrating clinical infrastructure with environmental compliance and facility sustainment, ensuring VA medical centers operate safely, efficiently, and in full regulatory alignment.
