Kisha Rambo

Kisha Rambo serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ RPO West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing the acquisition of nonresidential real property leases and related infrastructure support essential to veteran healthcare delivery. Her role centers on securing facility space for outpatient clinics, dental services, and medical support centers, ensuring that physical environments meet clinical standards and operational readiness requirements. She oversees the full lifecycle of lease acquisitions—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and performance monitoring—aligning each procurement with VA’s strategic mission to expand accessible, modern healthcare infrastructure for veterans. Rambo maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of institutional and commercial lessors, including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, and Colorado State University Research Foundation, reflecting a preference for long-term, mission-aligned property stakeholders. Her working relationships emphasize stability and compliance, often involving complex real estate transactions that integrate federal leasing regulations, environmental assessments, and facility adaptation requirements. She collaborates closely with these entities to ensure leased spaces are configured to accommodate specialized medical equipment and veteran-centric design standards. Rambo’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize facility quality, geographic suitability, and operational efficiency over socioeconomic classifications, though she ensures all vendors meet federal compliance and performance benchmarks regardless of size or status. Her primary focus is NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings—where she specializes in acquiring and adapting existing structures for clinical use. This includes procuring spaces that support surgical suites, diagnostic imaging, dental operatories, and telehealth infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with ADA compliance, healthcare construction codes, and federal facility standards. Her expertise lies in transforming commercial and institutional properties into functional, compliant veteran healthcare environments.
