Kimberly Mason supports the 255-NETWORK Contract Office 15 (36C255) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, managing procurement activities critical to modernizing VA healthcare infrastructure. She oversees the acquisition of clinical equipment, facility construction, and technical support systems essential to maintaining operational readiness in VA medical facilities. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality, accessible care through upgraded medical environments. She routinely handles complex procurements spanning construction, medical device manufacturing, and IT-enabled healthcare services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific operational standards. Mason maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Jett’s Specialty Contracting, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Highlands Development LLC, Rise Companies, LLC, and Medicone Medical Response of Tennessee, Inc. These partnerships reflect a strategic emphasis on firms capable of delivering integrated facility upgrades, surgical supply solutions, and responsive medical support services. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for vendors with proven experience in VA healthcare settings, fostering long-term collaboration to ensure reliability, compliance, and mission alignment across diverse project scopes. A strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in her award patterns, with 66.7% of procurements designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize veteran-owned enterprises, aligning with VA’s statutory obligations and its mission to empower those who served. The remaining 33.3% of awards are non-set-aside, typically reserved for specialized technical services requiring broader market competition. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 339113 (surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing), 333415 (HVAC and refrigeration equipment), and 541519 (other computer-related services). This technical blend underscores expertise in integrating physical infrastructure with clinical technology, ensuring that VA facilities are equipped with modern, safe, and interoperable systems to support veteran care.
