Kenya R Mitchell

Kenya R. Mitchell serves as a Contract Specialist with the 241-NETWORK Contract Office 01 (36C241) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize healthcare infrastructure for veterans. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for medical equipment, facility maintenance systems, and operational support services, ensuring compliance with FAR and VA-specific acquisition policies. She specializes in complex contracting actions involving technical specifications for electromedical devices, environmental control systems, and facility repair services, directly supporting clinical readiness across VA medical centers nationwide. Mitchell maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including Epernay Design & Construction LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, P.D.S. Consultants, Inc., L1 Enterprises Incorporated, and South Middlesex Opportunity Council, Inc. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of general contractors, specialized service providers, and community-based organizations delivering facility maintenance, equipment repair, and inspection services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term operational reliability. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong preference for open competition, with 73.7% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively prioritizes socioeconomic opportunities, consistently awarding contracts to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (21.1%) and maintaining a measurable commitment to total small business participation (5.3%). This reflects a deliberate alignment with VA’s mission to empower veteran entrepreneurs while ensuring quality service delivery. Mitchell’s technical focus centers on NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair), NAICS 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), and NAICS 541350 (building inspection services). Her expertise lies in procuring maintenance, testing, and installation services for critical infrastructure systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with facility engineering standards, medical equipment lifecycle management, and environmental compliance requirements essential to VA’s healthcare delivery mission.
