Christy Snider

Christy Snider serves as the primary procurement lead for the Department of Veterans Affairs’ RPO West (36C24W) office, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure assets essential to veteran care delivery. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracting actions related to facility leasing and operational space readiness, ensuring that outpatient clinics, dental suites, and surgical centers are properly equipped and compliant with VA standards. Her acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission to modernize clinical environments and maintain uninterrupted service delivery across veteran service centers, with a focus on securing secure, functional, and scalable nonresidential facilities. Snider maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc. These relationships reflect a preference for established entities with proven capacity in healthcare facility management, medical equipment integration, and facility maintenance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term operational support, fostering collaborative, performance-based vendor engagements rather than transactional procurements. Snider’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on broad market access and competitive pricing rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with VA’s priority for efficiency and scalability in facility infrastructure acquisition. While small business participation is not formally mandated in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes compete on technical merit and operational capability. Her primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in leasing and managing clinical and administrative spaces. She procures turnkey facility solutions, including build-outs, utility integrations, and compliance upgrades tailored to medical use, demonstrating specialized knowledge in healthcare real estate and facility readiness standards.
