Darian D Fludd

Darian D. Fludd serves as a Contracting Officer within the Office of Construction & Facilities Management (36C10F) at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to acquire and manage mission-critical infrastructure supporting veteran healthcare and administrative services. He manages a diverse portfolio of procurement actions spanning design, planning, and facility management services, with a focus on ensuring that VA facilities meet the highest standards of accessibility, safety, and operational readiness. His work directly supports the acquisition of leased and newly constructed medical centers, outpatient clinics, and related support infrastructure through competitive contracting mechanisms under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Fludd maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including LEGACY INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT, LLC, CARNEGIE MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, E2L FDS NASHVILLE, LLC, USFP II LLC, and VETMEDPROPERTY LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic alignment with firms experienced in federal facility development, property management, and integrated service delivery for government-owned assets. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term facility sustainability, and collaborative vendor engagement to ensure mission alignment and operational continuity. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Fludd demonstrates a pronounced preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for two-thirds of his award activity. This pattern underscores a deliberate commitment to empowering veteran-owned enterprises and aligning VA procurement with national goals for veteran economic inclusion. The remaining third of his awards are issued as no-set-aside actions, typically for complex, mission-critical services requiring specialized expertise not widely available among small businesses. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), and 541410 (Interior Design Services), reflecting a strategic emphasis on human capital development, operational efficiency, and facility aesthetics that enhance veteran experience. Fludd’s expertise lies in integrating design, management, and training services into cohesive facility acquisition strategies that prioritize both function and dignity in veteran care environments.
