Gislaine Dorvil serves as the primary contracting lead for the 255-NETWORK Contract Office 15 (36C255) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and facility modernization services. Her role centers on ensuring the operational readiness of VA medical facilities through strategic procurement of construction, engineering, and technical support systems. She oversees full lifecycle contracting actions for complex projects including clinical building upgrades, HVAC installations, and integrated medical support systems, aligning all acquisitions with VA’s mission to deliver high-quality, accessible care to veterans. Dorvil maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, including JETT’S SPECIALTY CONTRACTING, LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HIGHLANDS DEVELOPMENT LLC. She frequently engages firms with proven expertise in healthcare facility retrofitting and compliance with federal medical building codes. Her working relationships reflect a preference for contractors with prior VA experience, fostering long-term collaboration and performance reliability across mission-critical projects. A strong advocate for socioeconomic equity, Dorvil prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for 64.3% of her awarded contracts.

Her contracting patterns consistently favor SDVOSB participation over other set-aside categories, reinforcing the agency’s mission to honor veterans through economic inclusion. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), with secondary emphasis on plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems under 238220. She specializes in acquiring construction and design services for medical facilities, ensuring compliance with ADA, HIPAA, and VA-specific clinical environment standards. Her technical expertise lies in integrating modern healthcare infrastructure with legacy VA systems to enhance patient safety and operational efficiency.
