Laura Stauch

Laura Stauch serves as a key procurement lead within the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and technical services essential to modernizing veteran healthcare facilities. Her role centers on ensuring the timely and compliant procurement of electrical systems and related installations that support clinical operations, including wiring, power distribution, and facility upgrades critical to the safe and efficient delivery of care. She oversees full lifecycle contracting processes—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—for high-priority capital improvement projects within VA medical centers. Stauch maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Stafford Consulting Company, Inc., Skytek LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Metro West Ambulance Service, Inc., and Salmon Group Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in healthcare facility electrical systems, emergency power infrastructure, and mission-critical site development. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships built on accountability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement strategy is uniformly focused on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions designated exclusively for this socioeconomic category. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to empowering veteran-owned enterprises and aligning VA’s mission of service with its procurement practices. She actively cultivates a pipeline of qualified SDVOSB vendors, ensuring robust competition and sustainable small business participation across all contract actions. Stauch’s technical domain is anchored in NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—where she specializes in procuring complex electrical systems for medical facilities, including emergency backup power, surgical suite wiring, diagnostic equipment integration, and compliance with NFPA 99 and other healthcare facility codes. Her expertise lies in ensuring that infrastructure acquisitions meet the stringent operational and safety demands of clinical environments supporting veteran healthcare delivery.
