Lorri Schoellkopf

Lorri Schoellkopf serves as a key procurement professional within the 257-NETWORK Contract Office 17 (36C257) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain operational readiness at VA medical facilities. Her work centers on securing critical medical infrastructure, including surgical instruments, electromedical devices, in-vitro diagnostic systems, and laboratory analytics equipment, ensuring veterans receive timely, high-quality care. She navigates the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—aligning acquisitions with VA’s mission to modernize healthcare delivery through advanced technology and reliable service providers. She maintains enduring relationships with primary contractors such as Primary Care Solutions Inc., Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, VetPride Services, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Optum Infusion Services 308, LLC, reflecting a balanced portfolio of clinical, diagnostic, and facility support vendors. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established industry leaders capable of delivering specialized medical and construction services, often under performance-based requirements that emphasize compliance, scalability, and mission-critical uptime. Schoellkopf’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with half of her acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, while the remainder remain open to all competitors. This balanced approach ensures robust competition while actively promoting small business participation without compromising access to mission-critical capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 321911 (Wood Window and Door Manufacturing) and 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), suggesting a unique blend of facility infrastructure upgrades and environmental compliance services integral to VA campus operations. This dual specialization reveals deep expertise in integrating physical plant maintenance with regulated medical waste handling—two essential yet often overlooked domains critical to safe, compliant, and fully functional healthcare environments.
