Kiepke serves as a Contracting Officer within the 241-NETWORK Contract Office 01 (36C241) at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he manages the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and facility systems essential to VA medical center operations. His portfolio centers on commercial and institutional building construction and architectural services, ensuring that VA facilities meet stringent clinical, safety, and operational standards.

He 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 preference for experienced firms capable of delivering complex construction and design services under tight regulatory and clinical timelines. Kiepke fosters collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships, emphasizing compliance, quality assurance, and timely delivery of mission-critical infrastructure upgrades.

This balance reflects a deliberate approach to maximizing competition while fulfilling statutory obligations to promote veteran-owned enterprise participation in federal contracting. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 541310 (Architectural Services), where he procures integrated facility systems including HVAC, medical gas installations, diagnostic equipment integration, and ADA-compliant renovations. Kiepke’s expertise ensures that VA healthcare environments are built and maintained to the highest standards of clinical functionality and long-term operational reliability.
