Jennifer Sarraga serves as a Contracting Officer for the Department of Veterans Affairs, RPO West (36C24W), where she leads the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility support services essential to delivering veteran healthcare. Her portfolio encompasses the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for medical facility modernization, clinical equipment installation, and operational readiness enhancements. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring that VA outpatient clinics and service centers are equipped with safe, functional, and technologically capable environments aligned with federal procurement standards and VA’s mission of accessible, high-quality care. Sarraga maintains established relationships with key contractors including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc., reflecting a balanced mix of institutional providers, specialized service firms, and research-oriented partners. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, with a preference for vendors demonstrating proven experience in healthcare facility operations, biomedical support, and facility maintenance. She fosters collaborative, long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance, accountability, and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with approximately 80.8% of awards issued without set-asides.
