Keara Gibson

Keara Gibson serves as a key procurement professional within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she supports the acquisition of critical infrastructure and medical support services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. Her responsibilities include managing complex contracts for facility modernization, electromedical equipment procurement, and nonresidential building leasing, ensuring VA hospitals and clinics remain operational, compliant, and equipped to deliver high-quality care. She operates within a mission-driven framework focused on sustaining and upgrading the physical and technical environments where veterans receive treatment, often coordinating with engineering, construction, and facility management vendors to meet stringent federal healthcare standards. Gibson 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 balanced mix of specialized facility lessors, medical service providers, and commercial construction firms, indicating a procurement strategy that prioritizes niche expertise in VA-specific environments. Her approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term service delivery over transactional engagements. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with an equal split between no set-aside and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This balanced approach underscores a deliberate effort to leverage veteran-owned enterprise capabilities while maintaining flexibility for mission-critical needs that require broader market competition. Gibson’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings) and NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with a significant portion also falling under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services). This reflects her expertise in procuring facility infrastructure, capital improvements, and technical design services tailored to healthcare environments, demonstrating deep familiarity with the intersection of construction, real estate, and medical operational requirements within federal healthcare systems.
