Craig Wagstaff serves as a key procurement lead within the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he oversees the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. His responsibilities center on managing complex contracts for nonresidential facility leasing, clinical equipment procurement, and mission-critical support services that sustain modern medical environments. Wagstaff ensures alignment with VA’s strategic goals by securing high-performance facilities and operational resources that enable seamless delivery of diagnostic, surgical, and laboratory services to veterans nationwide. He maintains consistent working relationships with a select 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 reflect a focus on integrated facility management, technical services, and localized logistics support. Wagstaff’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear deliverables and regulatory adherence. His procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 76.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while 23.3% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting a deliberate commitment to veteran-centric socioeconomic goals. Though non-set-aside contracts dominate, his office actively prioritizes SDVOSB participation in alignment with VA’s mission to empower veteran entrepreneurs. Wagstaff’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for nearly 88% of his portfolio, indicating deep expertise in securing clinical and administrative facility space for VA operations.
