Marc C. Newbern serves as a Contract Specialist within the 247-NETWORK Contract Office 7 (36C247) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a critical role in executing procurements that sustain and modernize the physical and technological infrastructure underpinning veteran healthcare delivery. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning medical equipment maintenance, facility support services, and specialized clinical infrastructure, ensuring VA facilities remain compliant, safe, and technologically capable. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver accessible, high-quality care through reliable facility systems and operational readiness. Newbern maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Birmingham Industrial Construction, LLC, Excelsior Ambulance Service Inc., Transox Inc., Vascular Radiology Associates II, and Veterans Service Solutions LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on mission-critical service providers delivering repair, maintenance, and specialized clinical support across VA medical centers. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term service reliability, and vendor accountability, fostering stable, results-driven vendor relationships that align with VA’s operational needs. Newbern’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his acquisition portfolio, his process remains fully compliant with FAR requirements and emphasizes competitive fairness, transparency, and value-driven outcomes for taxpayer-funded programs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance, with significant activity in 561710 (pest control), 621330 (mental health practitioner services), and 561210/561790 (facilities and building support services). This reflects deep expertise in procuring non-clinical but mission-enabling services that maintain the integrity of VA healthcare environments, from HVAC and biomedical equipment upkeep to environmental health and building operations.
