Nick Heintz

Nick Heintz serves as a Contract Specialist with the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 (36C260) under the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical medical and facility infrastructure assets essential to veteran healthcare delivery. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of complex acquisitions for electromedical devices, surgical instrumentation, diagnostic equipment, and climate control systems for clinical environments. Heintz ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with VA’s strategic goals to modernize healthcare delivery systems and maintain operational readiness across VA medical facilities. Heintz maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including STAFFORD CONSULTING COMPANY, INC., SKYTEK LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, METRO WEST AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC., and SALMON GROUP INC., reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in medical equipment integration, facility upgrades, and emergency response logistics. His contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative partnerships that support sustained service quality. While the majority of his acquisitions—83.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Heintz demonstrates targeted support for socioeconomic programs, with 12.5% of awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 4.2% under total small business set-asides per FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a commitment to both operational efficiency and meaningful small business inclusion within VA’s procurement ecosystem. His technical focus centers on NAICS 333415 for HVAC and refrigeration systems, with significant activity in electronic equipment repair (811210), commercial machinery (333310), software publishing (513210), and office supply manufacturing (339940).
