Donald A. Marsh III

Donald A. Marsh III serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code: 36C776), supporting the modernization of veteran healthcare infrastructure through strategic facility construction and engineering acquisitions. Though not a lead contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and execution of capital improvement projects aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, technologically advanced medical facilities. His work primarily involves commercial and institutional building construction, with a secondary focus on power and communication infrastructure, ensuring that VA medical centers meet current operational and regulatory standards. Marsh collaborates consistently with a core group of established 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 experienced general contractors capable of delivering complex, large-scale facility upgrades under stringent federal compliance frameworks. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and adherence to federal construction codes, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on technical competency and regulatory alignment. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with equal portions of awards directed toward Total Small Business Set-Asides and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, alongside a majority of open competitions. This reflects a deliberate strategy to promote veteran-owned enterprise participation while maintaining competitive rigor in high-stakes infrastructure projects. Marsh’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), overseeing the renovation and expansion of clinical and administrative spaces, and NAICS 237130 for critical utility and communication line infrastructure. His expertise lies in procuring turnkey construction services that integrate modern EHR-ready environments, ADA-compliant designs, and energy-efficient systems essential to VA’s mission of delivering world-class care.
