Kenneth Chapman

Kenneth Chapman serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Rpo West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing real estate and facility-related acquisitions that support veteran healthcare infrastructure. His work ensures the agency secures optimal physical environments for outpatient clinics, surgical suites, and dental service centers, aligning with VA’s mission to deliver accessible, high-quality care. Chapman primarily handles non-construction real property leases and ancillary real estate services under FAR Part 13 and Part 17, focusing on long-term operational readiness and facility modernization initiatives. His acquisitions are mission-critical, enabling clinical delivery through secure, compliant, and technologically enabled spaces. Chapman maintains consistent relationships with a core group of contractors including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc. These partnerships span facility management, medical space planning, and specialized real estate services tailored to federal healthcare standards. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, with a preference for vendors possessing demonstrated experience in VA-compliant facility operations and adaptive reuse of existing infrastructure. Collaborations are typically structured as firm-fixed-price or lease-purchase agreements, ensuring accountability and lifecycle cost efficiency. Set-aside preferences reveal a strong orientation toward open competition, with 95.8% of awards issued under no set-aside authority. Only 4.2% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a strategic focus on broad market competition rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not a primary driver, all awards remain compliant with VA’s overall small business goals, and socioeconomic preferences are applied only where market conditions or technical requirements necessitate specialized capabilities. Chapman’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), reflecting his primary focus on leasing medical and administrative facilities. Secondary activity under NAICS 531390 includes real estate management, site acquisition support, and facility adaptation services. His technical expertise lies in securing compliant, ADA-accessible, and HIPAA-ready spaces equipped for clinical operations, with deep familiarity in federal real property regulations and VA-specific facility standards.
