Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly serves as a Supervisory Contract Specialist within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code 36C776), where she leads the acquisition strategy for critical medical infrastructure and clinical equipment modernization. Her role encompasses the full lifecycle management of complex procurement actions, including sealed bidding, negotiated procurements, and contract administration for high-stakes facility upgrades and health technology systems. She ensures alignment with FAR and VA-specific directives to support the agency’s mission of delivering safe, technologically advanced veteran healthcare environments through strategic facility engineering and medical equipment procurement. Grace collaborates closely with a core group of contractors including RWH CAPITAL LLC, BRIDGER RICH JV LLC, HURLEY JV, LLP, VETERANS CONTRACTING GROUP, INC., and THE TREVINO GROUP, INC., many of which specialize in medical facility construction, clinical space optimization, and healthcare technology integration. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established, experienced firms with proven capacity in federal healthcare environments, often engaging joint ventures and seasoned prime contractors capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple disciplines. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted procurements (87.8%), she maintains a deliberate focus on socioeconomic programs, consistently prioritizing Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides (10.2%) and occasionally utilizing Total Small Business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to veteran-owned enterprise participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 334510 (Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring clinical devices, diagnostic equipment, and surgical supplies. She also oversees acquisitions in 337215 (Showcase and Locker Manufacturing) for clinical storage systems and 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), underscoring her technical fluency in medical hardware and facility-integrated instrumentation.
