James Hunt

James Hunt supports the procurement mission of the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, managing complex acquisitions for critical healthcare infrastructure and maintenance services. He oversees contracts that ensure the operational readiness of VA medical facilities, focusing on the procurement of electromedical equipment, facility systems, and specialized repair services essential to veteran care environments. His work directly enables the modernization and sustainability of hospitals, clinics, and residential care centers by securing mission-critical goods and services under FAR-compliant acquisition strategies. Hunt maintains consistent relationships with key contractors including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in medical equipment maintenance, electrical and HVAC infrastructure, and facility-specific service delivery. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor reliability and technical capability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 73.3% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports socioeconomic goals, with over 20% of awards directed to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and an additional 5.8% allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures both efficiency and meaningful opportunities for qualified veteran- and small business-owned contractors. Hunt’s technical focus centers on NAICS 811219 and 811210, reflecting deep expertise in the repair and maintenance of precision medical and electromedical equipment. He also regularly procures services under 238210 and 238220, indicating proficiency in electrical and HVAC systems integration within healthcare facilities. His domain knowledge spans clinical equipment lifecycle management, facility systems compliance, and maintenance protocols critical to VA’s operational standards.
