Dawn N Schydzik

Dawn N. Schydzik serves as a Contract Specialist for the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code 36C776), where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions to modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing primarily on construction, engineering, and facility modernization projects. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the VA’s mission to deliver safe, technologically advanced medical facilities nationwide. Her portfolio centers on complex, mission-critical contracts that support clinical space expansion, EHR infrastructure upgrades, and integrated facility systems. Schydzik maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven expertise in healthcare construction and facility engineering. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a collaborative approach, often leveraging teaming arrangements to combine specialized capabilities in design, construction, and logistics consulting. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 35.1% of her awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting a strong commitment to veteran-owned enterprise. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to full and open competition (64.9%), she actively structures opportunities to maximize SDVOSB eligibility and compliance with VA socioeconomic goals. Schydzik’s primary NAICS focus is on Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), with significant activity in Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (541614) and Engineering Services (541330). She routinely procures integrated facility modernization solutions, including HVAC, electrical systems, and technology-enabled infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of physical construction and healthcare operations technology.
