Lori Faber

Lori Faber serves as a key procurement lead within the 258-Network Contract Office (36C258) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility upgrades that directly support veteran healthcare delivery. Her work centers on ensuring VA medical facilities are equipped with modern, safe, and operationally efficient environments through the procurement of commercial and institutional construction services. She plays a pivotal role in translating clinical and operational needs into compliant, high-impact contracts that align with VA’s strategic imperative to modernize healthcare infrastructure nationwide. Faber maintains a disciplined contracting approach centered on partnerships with qualified small businesses, particularly those owned by service-disabled veterans. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her portfolio consistently engages firms with proven expertise in healthcare facility construction, retrofitting, and compliance with federal building standards for medical environments. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in VA-specific regulatory frameworks, including ADA accessibility, infection control protocols, and biomedical infrastructure integration. A defining feature of Faber’s contracting strategy is her exclusive reliance on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deep institutional commitment to veteran economic empowerment. Every contract she manages is structured to prioritize SDVOSB eligibility, reinforcing VA’s mission to support veteran entrepreneurs while ensuring quality and accountability in construction delivery. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — with expertise in procuring services for surgical suites, diagnostic imaging rooms, HVAC systems for clinical zones, and other specialized medical facility upgrades. She specializes in complex, mission-critical construction projects requiring coordination with clinical staff, facility engineers, and federal compliance officers to ensure projects meet both operational and regulatory standards for veteran care environments.
