Melissa Westfall

Melissa Westfall serves as a Contract Specialist with the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring critical facility infrastructure and maintenance services to sustain and modernize VA healthcare environments. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, renovation, and site preparation contracts for hospitals, clinics, and residential care facilities, ensuring that veteran-facing infrastructure meets rigorous operational and safety standards. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on high-impact, mission-critical projects that directly support veteran healthcare delivery. Westfall maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in commercial and institutional construction, site preparation, and building systems integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in transparent communication and regulatory adherence. A defining feature of Westfall’s procurement strategy is her strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 70% of her awards designated as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This pattern underscores a deliberate alignment with VA’s mission to empower veteran entrepreneurs and ensure equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Her consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides reflects both regulatory compliance and a strategic dedication to veteran-owned enterprise development. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in site preparation, masonry, roofing, and painting contracts. This specialization demonstrates deep expertise in facility lifecycle management, enabling her to effectively evaluate technical specifications, construction methodologies, and compliance with VA facility standards to deliver safe, durable, and mission-ready healthcare environments.
