Jeffery A Ridenour

Jeffery A. Ridenour serves as a key procurement professional within the 249-NETWORK Contract Office 9 (36C249) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and clinical equipment essential to veteran healthcare delivery. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on modernizing VA medical facilities, including the procurement of surgical and diagnostic technologies, building construction services, and facility systems upgrades such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure. His work directly supports the VA’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and technologically advanced healthcare environments for veterans nationwide. Ridenour maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including Science Applications International Corporation, L1 Enterprises Incorporated, Adelphi Staffing, LLC, Firewatch Contracting of Florida LLC, and Greenbrier Government Solutions Inc. These partnerships span engineering, construction, staffing, and specialized medical equipment supply, reflecting a balanced approach to both large-capacity vendors and niche service providers. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven track records in federal healthcare environments, while still integrating small business capacity where mission-critical. His procurement strategy reflects a near-equal split between Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides and no set-aside awards, with a secondary emphasis on total small business participation under FAR 19.5. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, particularly advancing opportunities for veteran-owned enterprises while ensuring operational continuity and technical reliability. Ridenour’s primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and institutional building construction, electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing, and surgical appliance and instrument production. His expertise lies in acquiring complex, regulated medical technologies and facility infrastructure systems that meet stringent federal health and safety standards, ensuring VA facilities remain equipped with cutting-edge, compliant, and mission-ready capabilities.
