Jacqueline Long

Jacqueline Long serves as a key procurement lead within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of nonresidential real property leases critical to sustaining VA healthcare infrastructure. Her role centers on securing long-term facility space for VA medical clinics, administrative offices, and support services that directly enable veteran access to care. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA facility modernization priorities. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on real property leasing, aligning with the agency’s mission to maintain accessible, mission-ready healthcare environments across the nation. Jacqueline maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of commercial property lessors, including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These contractors specialize in the ownership, management, and adaptive reuse of medical-grade facilities, often providing turnkey leased spaces equipped for clinical operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes stability and reliability, favoring vendors with proven experience in healthcare real estate and a track record of meeting stringent VA facility standards for safety, accessibility, and operational continuity. Jacqueline’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside strategy, with no awards designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a deliberate alignment with the agency’s operational need for specialized commercial real estate assets, where the availability of qualified small business lessors with healthcare-capable properties remains limited. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in this category, her process remains transparent and competitive, ensuring all eligible vendors have equitable access. Her technical expertise lies exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—where she procures fully operational, lease-ready facilities tailored for medical use. She specializes in acquiring properties with infrastructure capable of supporting electromedical equipment, infection control protocols, and ADA-compliant design, ensuring VA’s leased spaces meet the rigorous demands of veteran healthcare delivery.
