Calixte Saintil

Calixte Saintil serves as a key procurement professional within the 248-NETWORK Contract Office 8 (36C248) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex construction and facility modernization contracts that support the operational readiness of VA medical infrastructure. Their work directly advances the agency’s mission to deliver safe, technologically advanced, and accessible healthcare environments for veterans by overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building services, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and structural upgrades. Saintil handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific facility standards. Saintil maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of qualified contractors, including BLUE CORD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, LLC, P.D.S. CONSULTANTS, INC., CAVU CONSULTING LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and PARAMOUNT CONSTRUCTION GROUP, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing firms with proven expertise in VA facility projects, often involving complex renovation, retrofitting, and new construction under stringent health and safety protocols. The working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance oversight and collaborative problem-solving to meet mission-critical timelines. A defining feature of Saintil’s contracting approach is the exclusive use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic goals and veteran-owned enterprise development. Every procurement under their purview is structured to prioritize SDVOSB eligibility, ensuring maximum participation by businesses owned by veterans with service-connected disabilities, in alignment with VA’s statutory mandates. Their technical domain is narrowly focused on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with expertise in procuring comprehensive facility upgrades for healthcare environments. This includes specialized knowledge of medical-grade construction standards, infection control requirements, and integration of clinical infrastructure with building systems, making their portfolio essential to sustaining the VA’s physical healthcare ecosystem.
