Phyllis Shealey

Phyllis M. Shealey serves as a Contracting Officer for the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she leads the acquisition of critical healthcare infrastructure and specialized medical services essential to veteran care. Her portfolio centers on procuring skilled nursing facilities, residential mental health and substance abuse services, and ancillary ambulatory care solutions that sustain and modernize VA healthcare delivery environments. She manages full lifecycle contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, VA acquisition regulations, and mission-critical operational requirements for hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. Shealey maintains established relationships with key contractors including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD, which consistently deliver facility maintenance, medical equipment procurement, and specialized healthcare support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms experienced in VA-specific compliance, regulatory frameworks, and healthcare facility standards. Her procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 93.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market competition for high-volume, mission-critical needs. Only 6.3% of awards utilize Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, suggesting targeted regional engagement where logistical or operational constraints justify limited competition. Phyllis specializes in NAICS codes 623110 (Nursing Care Facilities) and 623220 (Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities), each representing 37.5% of her portfolio, alongside 621999 (Miscellaneous Ambulatory Health Care Services) and 621111 (Offices of Physicians). Her technical expertise lies in procuring electromedical equipment, facility retrofitting, and integrated care delivery systems tailored to veteran-specific health needs, ensuring acquisitions align with VA’s clinical and operational standards.
