David Bentley

Bruce Bentley supports the Network Contract Office 19 (36C259) within the Department of Veterans Affairs as a key procurement professional responsible for managing strategic acquisitions that sustain and modernize VA medical facilities. He oversees the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure, including surgical instruments, electromedical devices, clinical supplies, and facility maintenance services, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission to deliver high-quality care to veterans. His procurement portfolio emphasizes technical compliance, lifecycle management of medical equipment, and operational readiness of healthcare delivery environments, requiring deep familiarity with federal acquisition regulations and clinical procurement standards. Bentley maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility infrastructure, CEPHEID for diagnostic medical technology, UNIVERSITY PHYSICIANS, INCORPORATED for clinical support services, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED for specialized medical supply logistics, and ALL AMERICAN EXPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for transportation and logistics support. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging established vendors with proven capabilities in healthcare delivery, facility operations, and regulated medical product distribution, prioritizing reliability and regulatory compliance over volume-based sourcing. His contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, he actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating approximately 18.8% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides and 6.3% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, demonstrating alignment with VA’s socioeconomic goals and veteran-centric procurement priorities. Bentley’s technical focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), 334510 (Electromedical Apparatus Manufacturing), and 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in procuring FDA-regulated medical devices and clinical instrumentation. He also manages acquisitions tied to facility operations, including maintenance and utility support services, underscoring a dual-domain proficiency in both clinical equipment procurement and infrastructure sustainment.
