Daniel Barone

Daniel Barone serves as a secondary contracting professional within the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 (36C242) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and medical facility services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. His role involves coordinating and administering complex procurements related to facility modernization, clinical equipment installation, and construction services, ensuring alignment with VA’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and technologically advanced medical environments. He typically handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts under the 242-NETWORK program, focusing on high-priority capital improvement projects across VA medical centers. Barone maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAWTOOTH CONSTRUCTION JV II LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial building construction, electrical systems, and integrated facility upgrades. His procurement approach emphasizes collaborative vendor engagement, performance-based contract management, and rigorous compliance with federal construction and engineering standards. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over 70% of awards designated for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting VA’s statutory priority to support veteran entrepreneurs. The remaining awards are typically issued as no-set-aside actions, often for specialized technical services requiring unique qualifications. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize veteran-owned business participation while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical requirements. Barone’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in electrical and building equipment contracting (238210, 238290). He specializes in procuring design-build services, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, and facility renovations that directly support clinical operations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in healthcare infrastructure procurement and federal construction compliance.
