David Dillinger

David Dillinger serves as a key procurement lead within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing non-residential real property leasing acquisitions that support VA healthcare infrastructure. His role centers on securing long-term facility space for VA medical clinics, administrative offices, and allied healthcare services, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to provide accessible, modernized care environments for veterans. He executes full lifecycle contracting actions under FAR Part 17 and 41, with a focus on lease negotiations, space optimization, and facility sustainment through competitive and non-competitive procurement mechanisms. Dillinger maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of real property lessors and facility management firms, including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These contractors primarily provide leased healthcare-ready facilities, build-to-suit modifications, and integrated maintenance services. His contracting approach emphasizes stability and reliability, favoring established vendors with proven experience in adapting commercial properties to meet stringent VA healthcare compliance standards, including ADA, HIPAA, and OSHA requirements. Dillinger’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, indicating a preference for open competition across all business sizes without socioeconomic targeting. This approach prioritizes facility quality, location suitability, and operational continuity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the VA’s need for immediate, mission-critical space solutions in high-demand veteran service areas. His primary focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where he procures fully equipped, turnkey medical and administrative facilities. His expertise lies in evaluating building suitability for clinical operations, utility compliance, and infrastructure readiness, ensuring leased spaces meet VA’s technical and regulatory benchmarks for patient care delivery.
