Kenny Holestin

Kenny Holestin serves as a key procurement lead within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and medical equipment essential to veteran care delivery. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracts for surgical instruments, electromedical devices, and facility construction projects that modernize VA hospitals and clinics. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to sustain high-quality, accessible healthcare environments for veterans across the nation. Holestin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized 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 with deep expertise in medical equipment distribution, facility maintenance, and institutional construction. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical capability, and proven performance in high-stakes healthcare settings, fostering long-term vendor collaborations grounded in regulatory compliance and mission alignment. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Holestin prioritizes Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for 37.7% of his awards, reflecting a deliberate commitment to veteran-owned enterprises. While the majority of his acquisitions are open competition (62.3%), his consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides demonstrates a structured effort to increase veteran economic participation and leverage the unique capabilities of businesses owned by those who served. His technical focus centers on NAICS 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing) and 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing), with significant activity in 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). He procures precision medical devices, sterile instrument trays, and infrastructure upgrades for clinical and residential care facilities, demonstrating specialized expertise in healthcare facility modernization and life-safety-compliant construction. His domain knowledge spans both clinical equipment standards and federal construction codes, ensuring acquisitions meet rigorous VA operational requirements.
