Delrick Whitehorn

Delrick Whitehorn serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Rpo West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing facility-related acquisitions that support the delivery of veteran healthcare services. His work centers on securing nonresidential leasing arrangements to establish and modernize outpatient clinics, dental facilities, and clinical support spaces essential to VA’s infrastructure mission. He handles full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with VA’s strategic goals for facility expansion and operational readiness. Whitehorn maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors specializing in commercial real estate leasing and facility management, including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, and EFC Services Corporation. These relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based agreements focused on turnkey space delivery and infrastructure readiness. His procurement approach prioritizes reliability, compliance, and seamless integration of leased facilities into VA’s broader healthcare network, often coordinating with clinical and engineering stakeholders to ensure spaces meet stringent medical operational standards. Whitehorn’s contracting portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, reflecting a strategic focus on competitive, open-market procurements rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through designated programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, his process emphasizes transparency, broad market engagement, and value-driven outcomes aligned with VA’s mission-critical needs. His primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—indicating deep expertise in facility leasing, space planning, and build-to-suit arrangements for medical use. He routinely procures turnkey clinical environments, including leased facilities equipped with surgical, dental, and diagnostic infrastructure, demonstrating specialized knowledge in healthcare real estate and the unique compliance requirements of federal medical facilities.
