Jerrod J Schleis

Jerrod J. Schleis serves as a key procurement professional within the 252-NETWORK Contract Office 12 (36C252) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize the physical and technological infrastructure of VA medical facilities. His portfolio centers on mission-critical contracts for facility construction, environmental remediation, and operational support systems essential to delivering safe, high-quality healthcare to veterans. Schleis routinely handles full-and-open and set-aside procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while advancing the VA’s strategic goals for infrastructure resilience and technological advancement. Schleis maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for facility upgrades, Koffel Medical Supply Inc. for medical equipment procurement, Advanced Imaging Management, LLC for diagnostic system support, and Troop Contracting Inc. for specialized construction services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance in federal healthcare environments, fostering long-term partnerships that prioritize reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Schleis consistently prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for 60% of his awarded contracts. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to empowering veteran-owned enterprises and aligning procurement outcomes with VA’s broader mission of supporting those who served. The remaining 40% of acquisitions are conducted as no-set-aside procurements, ensuring competition while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical needs. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541310 (Architectural Services), and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors). Schleis specializes in procuring integrated facility systems, hazardous material abatement, HVAC modernization, and design-build construction services, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of healthcare infrastructure and federal construction standards.
