Gary Spikowski

Gary Spikowski serves as a Post Award Contract Specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code: 36C776), where he manages the administration and compliance of complex construction and facility modernization contracts following award. His role ensures that contractor performance aligns with technical specifications, statutory requirements, and VA mission objectives, particularly in sustaining and upgrading healthcare infrastructure critical to veteran services. He specializes in post-award activities including contract modifications, payment processing, performance evaluations, and closeout procedures for high-stakes facility projects, acting as the primary liaison between contractors and VA program managers to uphold contractual integrity and operational readiness. Spikowski maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships are primarily centered on joint ventures and specialized construction firms with proven experience in federal healthcare facility delivery. His approach emphasizes collaborative contract administration, proactive risk mitigation, and rigorous oversight to ensure compliance with federal construction standards and VA-specific facility requirements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Spikowski consistently prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for two-thirds of his awarded contracts. This pattern reflects a deliberate alignment with VA’s mandate to support veteran-owned enterprises, fostering economic opportunity while leveraging specialized expertise in veteran-centric infrastructure projects. His procurement practices demonstrate a steadfast commitment to small business inclusion and equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. His technical focus lies predominantly in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), overseeing the renovation, expansion, and modernization of medical facilities, alongside NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) for design-integrated construction projects. He brings deep domain knowledge in healthcare facility construction, EHR infrastructure support spaces, and compliance with ADA, OSHA, and VA Design Standards, ensuring all projects meet stringent clinical and operational requirements.
