Jimmie E. Frost

Jimmie E. Frost serves as a key procurement lead within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and facility support services essential to veteran care delivery. Responsible for managing complex contracts spanning medical equipment, facility maintenance, and operational support systems, Frost ensures that VA hospitals and clinics remain fully equipped with life-sustaining surgical instruments, electromedical devices, and compliant infrastructure. His procurement activities directly support the modernization and operational readiness of VA healthcare environments, aligning acquisitions with federal standards for safety, reliability, and mission-critical performance. Frost maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of 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 strategic focus on specialized vendors capable of delivering tailored medical property management, facility systems integration, and clinical support services. His contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, with recurring engagements with firms demonstrating proven capability in VA-specific compliance, rapid response logistics, and healthcare facility modernization. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition (66.7%), Frost demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with over a quarter of awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) and a meaningful portion allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to leverage veteran-owned enterprise capabilities while maintaining competitive integrity in high-stakes procurement environments. His technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 339113 (surgical appliance manufacturing), 337214 (office furniture), 561210 (facilities support services), and 238220 (plumbing, heating, and HVAC contracting), underscoring expertise in procuring integrated healthcare environments that combine clinical equipment, facility upgrades, and operational maintenance services.
