Kelly Han

Kelly Han serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs (Agency Code 36C776), overseeing strategic acquisitions to modernize veteran healthcare infrastructure. Responsible for managing construction, engineering, and medical equipment contracts, Han ensures that facility upgrades and clinical technology deployments align with VA’s mission of delivering safe, advanced, and accessible care. Their portfolio primarily includes complex acquisitions under FAR Part 36 for commercial and institutional building construction, as well as medical device and laboratory instrumentation procurement, requiring deep technical evaluation and lifecycle cost analysis. Han maintains strong, recurring relationships with a select group of contractors including RWH Capital LLC, Bridger Richard JV LLC, Hurley JV, LLP, Veterans Contracting Group, Inc., and The Trevino Group, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and experienced firms capable of delivering integrated facility modernization and specialized medical equipment solutions. The working relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based contract management, emphasizing accountability, compliance, and mission-critical delivery timelines. A pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident, with nearly 50% of awards issued without set-asides, while 44.7% are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), reflecting VA’s statutory priority to empower veteran entrepreneurs. An additional 5.3% are awarded under total small business set-asides, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes both veteran-owned capability and broad small business participation. Han’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 339112 and 339113 for surgical instruments and medical supplies, alongside 236220 for institutional construction and 334516 for analytical laboratory equipment. This technical specialization underscores expertise in procuring high-compliance medical devices and infrastructure that directly support clinical operations, diagnostic capabilities, and facility readiness across the VA healthcare network.
