Cynthia Tortolano

Cynthia Tortolano serves as a key procurement professional within the 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10 (36C250) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages strategic acquisitions to support the modernization and operational readiness of VA medical facilities. Her work centers on securing nonresidential leasing services essential to maintaining and expanding clinical infrastructure, ensuring that veteran healthcare environments are adequately housed and equipped. She handles complex real property procurement actions under FAR Part 17 and 41, focusing on long-term lease agreements for medical office spaces, diagnostic centers, and support facilities critical to VA’s mission of delivering accessible, high-quality care. Tortolano maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including WSSA LLC, Integrated Maintenance and Bus Services LLC, and MGI, Inc., all of which provide facility management, infrastructure support, and building services tailored to federal healthcare settings. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned partners with proven experience in federal real estate compliance, maintenance, and facility optimization under GSA schedules and VA-specific lease authorities. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on socioeconomic inclusion, with one-third of awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to veteran-centric contracting. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her targeted use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores VA’s mandate to empower veteran entrepreneurs in the built environment sector. Tortolano’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she procures leased space for clinical, administrative, and support functions. Her domain expertise lies in negotiating long-term real property agreements that meet stringent VA facility standards, including ADA compliance, security protocols, and integration with medical equipment infrastructure, ensuring that leased spaces directly enable patient care delivery.
