Genevieve Fain

Genevieve Fain serves as a Contract Specialist within 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 include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for engineering services and commercial/institutional construction projects, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the VA’s mission to deliver safe, technologically advanced medical facilities. She routinely handles complex, high-stakes contracts involving design-build delivery, professional engineering services, and facility modernization initiatives, working closely with program managers and technical stakeholders to translate mission needs into enforceable contractual requirements. Fain maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced 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 facility construction and engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and technical competence. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of her awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting a deliberate focus on empowering veteran entrepreneurs. While the majority of her acquisitions are open competition, she consistently prioritizes SDVOSB participation as a core component of equitable contracting, aligning with VA’s broader veteran-centric mission. Fain’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she procures architectural and engineering design, facility upgrades, EHR infrastructure support, and clinical space expansions. Her domain expertise centers on integrating modern building systems with healthcare operational needs, ensuring that constructed and engineered environments meet rigorous federal standards for accessibility, safety, and technological interoperability.
