Phillip Kang

Phillip D. Kang serves as a Contracting Officer for the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 (36C242) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he leads the acquisition and management of critical infrastructure and technical services to support veteran healthcare facilities. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement activities, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration, with a focus on facility renovations, clinical equipment procurement, and maintenance services essential to VA medical center operations. Kang’s portfolio is strategically aligned with modernizing the physical and technological backbone of VA healthcare delivery, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven outcomes. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, SAWTOOTH CONSTRUCTION JV II LLC, and J & J MECHANICAL AND CONSTRUCTION GROUP LLC, primarily engaging general contractors and specialty trade firms for construction and facility services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, performance-based vendor partnerships with proven capacity in complex, mission-critical environments, often coordinating multi-disciplinary teams to deliver integrated facility upgrades. Kang demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 30% of his awards set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs), reflecting the VA’s priority to empower veteran entrepreneurs. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, his deliberate use of SDVOSB set-asides underscores a strategic alignment with federal small business goals and veteran workforce development. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), complemented by significant activity in engineering services (541330) and computer systems design (541512). He regularly procures architectural, electrical, and IT infrastructure services to support the modernization of VA medical facilities, demonstrating deep expertise in integrated facility modernization and technical systems integration for healthcare environments.
