Donna Martinez

Donna Martinez serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ RPO West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing acquisitions that support the modernization and operational readiness of veteran healthcare infrastructure. Her role centers on securing nonresidential leasing services to establish and expand outpatient clinics, diagnostic centers, and clinical support facilities essential to delivering high-quality care. She oversees the full lifecycle of real property contracts, from needs assessment and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and contract administration, ensuring alignment with VA’s strategic mission to enhance access and efficiency in veteran-facing medical environments. Martinez maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, and EFC Services Corporation, all of whom provide facility management, leasehold improvements, and infrastructure support services. Her procurement approach favors established partners with proven experience in federal healthcare real estate, emphasizing reliability, compliance with federal building codes, and seamless integration with VA’s clinical operations. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated capacity in managing complex, mission-critical property needs across diverse geographic regions. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability and facility suitability over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition regulations, ensuring equitable opportunity while prioritizing mission outcomes. Martinez’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting her specialization in long-term facility leasing for clinical use. She procures turnkey medical space solutions, including build-outs for dental suites, surgical suites, and telehealth-enabled exam rooms, requiring deep familiarity with healthcare facility standards, ADA compliance, and VA-specific architectural guidelines. Her expertise lies in translating clinical requirements into enforceable lease terms that support operational continuity and patient safety.
