Julie Kocinski

Julie Kocinski serves as a key procurement professional within the 258-Network Contract Office (36C258) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing construction and facility modernization contracts that directly support VA healthcare infrastructure. Her role centers on executing complex acquisitions for commercial and institutional building construction projects, ensuring that medical facilities across the nation meet modern clinical standards. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on projects that enhance patient care environments through facility upgrades, renovations, and infrastructure improvements aligned with VA’s strategic modernization goals. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Kocinski’s procurement pattern reflects engagement with qualified general contractors and construction management firms capable of delivering high-compliance, healthcare-specific construction services. Her working relationships emphasize vendors with proven experience in federal healthcare construction, including those familiar with VA design-build standards, infection control protocols, and ADA compliance requirements. She fosters collaborative partnerships with firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions under strict regulatory and operational constraints. Kocinski demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-third of her acquisitions set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting the VA’s mission to empower veteran entrepreneurs. The majority of her contracts remain open to general competition, but her consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to increase veteran-owned business access to federal construction opportunities. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she specializes in procuring services for the renovation and expansion of medical buildings, surgical suites, diagnostic centers, and support infrastructure. Her expertise lies in managing construction projects that integrate advanced medical utilities, HVAC systems, and biomedical infrastructure critical to delivering safe, efficient veteran care.
