Quentin Chew

Quentin Chew serves as a Contract Specialist within the 256-NETWORK Contract Office 16 (36C256) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in procuring mission-critical healthcare infrastructure and medical equipment to sustain VA clinical operations. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for surgical instruments, electromedical devices, facility maintenance services, and precision equipment repair, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and VA-specific clinical standards. His work directly supports the modernization and operational readiness of VA hospitals, clinics, and residential care facilities, with a focus on high-reliability, life-sustaining medical systems. Chew maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including VETMEDPROPERTY LLC, MILLBROOK SUPPORT SERVICES INC, SI PROPERTY INVESTMENTS LLC, BRISTON CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and 336 AT SOUTH MEDICAL LTD. These partnerships span specialized medical equipment distribution, facility maintenance, and technical repair services, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven expertise in healthcare environments and VA compliance protocols. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical specificity, and adherence to federal quality benchmarks, fostering long-term performance-based relationships rather than transactional engagements. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition (63.6%), Chew demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly one-third of awards reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and a smaller but meaningful portion allocated to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores his alignment with VA’s mission to prioritize veteran-owned enterprises in the delivery of critical services. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 339112 and 339113 for surgical instrument and medical supply manufacturing, complemented by 811210 for electronic equipment maintenance and 562211 for hazardous waste disposal—reflecting deep technical expertise in healthcare logistics, biomedical engineering support, and environmental compliance within clinical settings.
