Jonathan Labitad

Jonathan R. Labitad serves as a Contract Specialist within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that sustain and modernize VA healthcare infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning medical equipment, facility maintenance, and specialized construction services, ensuring that VA hospitals, clinics, and residential care facilities remain equipped with life-sustaining surgical instruments, electromedical systems, and compliant building infrastructure. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with the VA’s mission to deliver high-quality, accessible care to veterans through reliable, mission-critical procurement actions. Labitad maintains consistent working 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 focus on vendors capable of delivering specialized medical property management, facility operations, and technical construction services tailored to federal healthcare environments. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with VA facility standards, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 90.7%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Labitad demonstrates a targeted commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 9.3% of awards directed to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs). This reflects a deliberate effort to leverage veteran-owned enterprise capabilities within the VA’s procurement ecosystem, aligning with the agency’s broader goals of veteran economic empowerment. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 811219 (Other Personal Service Activities related to medical property), 611699 (Miscellaneous Instruction), 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), and 238290/238220 (Building Equipment and HVAC Contractors). This technical domain expertise enables him to navigate complex specifications for surgical instrument calibration, facility retrofitting, and integrated medical infrastructure, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent federal healthcare compliance and safety standards.
