Lindsay Killian

Lindsay Killian serves as a Lease Contracting Officer within the Office of Construction & Facilities Management (36C10F) at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she is responsible for executing and managing long-term real property leases to support veteran healthcare and administrative facilities nationwide. Her role is central to the agency’s mission of securing mission-aligned, accessible, and high-quality infrastructure, from outpatient clinics to mixed-use medical campuses. She specializes in non-residential leasing acquisitions under FAR Part 17 and GSA Schedule 70, ensuring compliance with federal real property standards and VA facility planning priorities. Her portfolio primarily involves negotiating lease terms, conducting market research, and managing tenant improvement allowances to deliver turnkey solutions that meet clinical and operational requirements. Killian maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced real estate developers and property managers, including Legacy Investment and Management, LLC, Carnegie Management and Development Corporation, E2L FDS Nashville, LLC, USFP II LLC, and VetMedProperty LLC. These contractors are frequently engaged as full-service lessors, providing build-to-suit, lease-purchase, and adaptive reuse solutions tailored to VA’s clinical and security standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term partnership, performance-based contract management, and rigorous oversight of landlord obligations related to maintenance, compliance, and facility readiness. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while 14.3% are reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), aligning with VA’s statutory priorities. Though not heavily reliant on 8(a) or HUBZone programs, she actively evaluates small business capabilities and encourages SDVOSB participation where market conditions permit. Killian’s expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—reflecting her specialization in commercial real estate leasing for federal facilities. She procures turnkey leased spaces with integrated tenant improvements, utilities, and maintenance services, ensuring facilities meet VA’s stringent design, accessibility, and operational benchmarks for veteran care environments.
