Jayne L Messer

Jayne Messer serves as a Contracting Officer for the 248-NETWORK Contract Office 8 (36C248) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of critical medical, facility, and operational support services essential to modernizing VA healthcare infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning surgical instrumentation, electromedical equipment, diagnostic devices, and facility upgrades including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure safe, functional, and technologically advanced medical environments for veterans, employing full and open competition with strict adherence to FAR guidelines and performance-based acquisition strategies. Messer maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including BLUE CORD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, LLC, P.D.S. CONSULTANTS, INC., CAVU CONSULTING LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and PARAMOUNT CONSTRUCTION GROUP, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, high-performing firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical solutions across both clinical and construction domains. Her contracting approach emphasizes accountability, technical compliance, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and quality assurance protocols. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for full and open competition, with only 2.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not a primary driver, she remains compliant with all statutory requirements and evaluates all offers based on technical merit and past performance. Messer’s primary NAICS focus areas include surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112), physician offices (621111), electromedical apparatus manufacturing (334510), analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516), and surgical appliance manufacturing (339113). Her expertise lies in procuring high-precision medical devices, diagnostic systems, and facility infrastructure upgrades that meet stringent FDA and OSHA standards, requiring deep technical understanding of clinical workflows and biomedical engineering requirements.
