Cynthia L. Kinsman Contract Specialist

Cynthia Kinsman serves as a Contract Specialist within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that sustain and modernize VA healthcare infrastructure. She manages the acquisition of critical medical equipment, facility construction, and specialized maintenance services essential to veteran-centric care environments. Her portfolio encompasses complex, mission-critical contracts for electromedical systems, building infrastructure, and technical support services, ensuring VA hospitals and clinics remain fully operational and compliant with federal healthcare standards. Kinsman’s work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver safe, accessible, and technologically advanced care to America’s veterans. Kinsman maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with proven expertise in medical facility upgrades, electrical and HVAC systems, and property management services tailored to federal healthcare settings. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in accountability and quality delivery. A strong advocate for socioeconomic opportunity, Kinsman consistently prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for nearly half of her award activity. This commitment aligns with VA’s statutory mandate to promote veteran entrepreneurship and reflects a deliberate strategy to channel contracting opportunities toward businesses owned by those who served. While over half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of SDVOSB set-asides demonstrates a balanced yet intentional approach to small business inclusion. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 238210 (Electrical Contractors), and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting deep expertise in facility modernization and technical infrastructure. She routinely manages acquisitions for surgical equipment integration, wiring systems, HVAC upgrades, and roofing solutions—all vital to maintaining high-acuity healthcare environments. Kinsman’s technical acumen ensures that every contract supports the operational integrity of VA’s physical care delivery network.
